The the University of Illinois the Greek houses are scattered all over Champaign and Urbana near campus.

At Oklahoma State University all of the Greek houses are on the same side of campus (except for one fraternity) but there is no row.

At the University of Oklahoma there is North Greek and South Greek. Neither is a "row" but rather an area where most houses are located, one north of campus and one south of campus.

We have what is called the Greek Complex.
4 building built in the late 50's early 60's where AXiD, PiPhi, Pike, and SAE live.
4 building built in the early 90's where ATO, DG, Lambda Chi, and Kappa Sig live.


Then DZ,ChiO, and ZTA are on University Ave (they are right on the main street of the university).

AGR,PiKap, TKE, Sigma Chi, Delta Sig, and Delta Chi have houses off campus.

FH is unhoused.

At Ole Miss there is a fraternity row with SAE, Chi Psi, Delta Psi, Sig Ep, Phi Psi, Deke, (old Phi Beta Sigma house which is empty), and then Phi Delta Theta. Then further down the road is Kappa Alpha and Phi Kappa Tau. On the back side of fraternity row is Kappa Sigma, Sigma Nu, Pike, Sigma Chi, Beta and ATO. Really there is no real old/new row at Ole Miss anymore since some older fraternities, like Sigma Chi, are in newer houses than their original house. (Phi Beta Sigma is raising money to renovate their house currently from what I've heard.)

The Sorority Row has Tri Delta and KD in a little cul-de-sac (ADPi use to be next door to KD but it is now the honors college.) Then Phi Mu, DG, (Old ZTA house which is now a university academic building) and Kappa.

Then on Rebel Drive is AOII, Theta, Pi Phi, and Chi Omega.

Being that you're not greek, I wonder why this matters to you.

I believe that also applies here:

(Yes, I realize APO is Greek, but beings as that they don't have a house anywhere....)

And...PS You can have a Fraternity/Sorority row with "regular" addresses. Just because it's not 123 Fratty Circle, doesn't mean it's not a "Greek Row".

Ohio University has College Street which has FIJI, Alpha Xi Delta, Chi Omega, Pi Phi, Sig Ep, the old Phi Mu house (which I think is currently empty, but I could be wrong), the AOII house is located on a side street right behind the old Phi Mu house, then Pike next to old Phi Mu, Sigma Kappa, AEII, around the corner from AEII is the DZ house, going straight on College you then see DG, and Acacia- then College ends and if you turn right onto State Street you end up at Phi Tau, SAE and Theta Chi.
ADPi, Alpha Gam, Delt, and Sigma Chi are are located on different sides of college green, and the Beta house is a couple of blocks from there- not really near any other frat houses.
I know a few frats have come and gone since I was in school, so I'm not listing those since I'm not sure where they are located- but College doesn't have any more room for houses, so I'm sure they aren't there.

Northeastern State University has been talking about possibly getting a greek neighborhood established within the next 7 years...not sure exactly how they would go about having it, but the Dean talked to IFC last semester and said that it is a very real possibility. Since NSU doesn't have greek housing, the fraternities/sororities just have parties at members' houses off campus, which has caused many people (neighbors) to complain. I think it would be pretty cool if done right...

Excuse Me, what do you mean by not being a Greek?

I am a member of APO and damn proud of being a member and what I did as a member.


I am also a member of LXA is that wrong also?

If one GLO has a house and can afford it, that can be a plus, but, if teh playing field is even for all, then that makes a difference!

At IU, most of the fraternity and sorority houses are on North Jordan Ave. and the North Jordan Extension. There are also several houses on East Third Street: LXA, DU, Kappa, Pi Phi, Alpha Phi, Tri-Delt, Acacia, and Fiji. Pike used to be there too. There are a few houses scattered in other places on campus: Delta Gamma is waaaaay up on North Jordan across from the Office of Admissions (the old, old Sigma Kappa house) Sigma Chi is on 7th, across from Dunn Meadow. Theta is on Woodlawn, about half a block from the Union and the J-school.

Northwestern has the Sorority Quads and the Fraternity Quads.

Sorority Quads are on the South end of Campus, and the buildings are almost all greek. Of the non-greek, half are all girls dorms (the only ones on campus).

The Fraternity Quads are on the North side of campus. The Northern quads and only 4 buildings in the quads are non-greek, one of which is the only all-male dorm.

A long time ago, someone donated a large sum of money with the stipulation that the sororities and the fraternities be on the opposite sides of campus. I assume it was to prevent "indecent behavior". That was a really long time ago (before 1900, I assume) because many houses have been up since around the turn of the century.

Univ. of Maryland has a Fraternity Row, it's on campus and 13 houses total. - 11 fraternities and 2 sororities. Additional chapters have houses in the surrounding area- there is a block that has 7 sorority houses and that block is referred to as the Graham Cracker.
Our Fraternity Row is featured in the movie, St. Elmo's Fire.

My school is in the early stages of getting Greek Housing, but there are so many factors in the air, it might be years before its completed! I know the school tried designating dorms for greek lifein the past, but it didn't work out, hence the plans for different housing.

University of Minnesota

At Minnesota, we have a "frat row" that is along University Avenue, facing the oldest part of our campus (~150 years old). Obviously, many houses have changed hands/ left/ taken over the house next door/ university moved into a former fraternity house/ etc in the past hundred-plus years, but thankfully many remain. This is where most of the fraternities are located.
http://collections.mnhs.org/visualre...archType=Basic
Above is a picture from 1928. The campus would be on your left, with fraternity row on your right. You would be looking up University Avenue, with all the row fraternities on your right, including...
1800 block:
unoccupied (originally Zeta Psi and formerly Tau Kappa Epsilon)
Kappa Sigma (technically on a cross-street, = behind ZPsi/TKE)
Alpha Tau Omega
Sigma Alpha Epsilon
Omega Nu Alpha (local, originally Phi Kappa Sigma)
1700 block:
Alpha Delta Phi
Phi Sigma Kappa (technically on a cross-street, = behind ADPhi)
co-op (originally Psi Upsilon)
Delta Tau Delta
Delta Kappa Epsilon
1600 block:
Beta Theta Pi
Sigma Chi (original house)
Sigma Chi 2 (originally Chi Phi)
Phi Kappa Psi
Delta Chi
1500 block:
Sigma Nu
original Theta Chi house (technically on a cross-street, = behind Sigma Nu)
Chi Psi/Lodge

The sororities are in small clusters, about 8 blocks up University avenue from where the picture is taken. Some other fraternities are also located up there, farther from campus, but closer to the ladies Additional organizations that are located in this other, ~ 6 block area are:

fraternities
Delta Upsilon (originally Phi Delta Theta house)
Phi Gamma Delta (on Univeristy Ave)
Triangle (on University Ave)
Sigma Alpha Mu
Sigma Phi Epsilon
Kappa Alpha Psi (on University Ave)

sororities
on one block:
Alpha Chi Omega
Gamma Phi Beta
former Chi Omega house
Alpha Phi
Kappa Kappa Gamma
Kappa Kappa Gamma 2
across the street:
former Delta Delta Delta house
former Alpha Delta Pi house
former Kappa Alpha Theta house
on another block:
Alpha Gamma Delta
Delta Gamma
Kappa Alpha Theta
across the street:
Pi Beta Phi
Pi Beta Phi 2
Alpha Omicron Pi

(We also have Alpha Gamma Rho and Farmhouse, and two local, more agricultural-focused sororities, but they are all located in Saint Paul, near the ag campus)

I think that's pretty much everyone (besides locals, or others who have moved houses again!)
