At UMass, we have Frat Row, which is the area bounded by North Pleasant Street, Fearing Street, and Nutting Avenue. On North Pleasant (Amherst has four streets named Pleasant- North, South, and Mount), before the university's main gate, there's Lambda Chi Alpha, Alpha Delta Phi, Hillel (not really Greek, but they live down there so they get lumped in), Iota Gamma Upsilon, Sigma Delta Tau, Alpha Epsilon Phi, Sigma Alpha Mu, Delta Sigma Phi, Delta Upsilon (temporarily), and Alpha Tau Gamma. Past the main gate, there's Theta Chi and Phi Sigma Kappa. Philips Street comes off of North Pleasant- that's where Delta Zeta is. It runs by Allen St., where Sigma Kappa is, to Nutting Avenue, where you'll find Kappa Kappa Gamma and Alpha Chi Omega. On Nutting you'll also find the unofficial houses of Zeta Beta Tau and Pi Lambda Phi. Off Fearing St. on Sunset Ave. you'll find Omega Delta (that's me!). There are lots of private houses in the area, rented by either out-of-house Greeks or athletes (there's a swimming house, a rugby house, a football house, etc.).
There are three houses off the row. Delta Upsilon's old house was way up North Pleasant past the north gate of the university- it burnt down last fall, they're going to rebuild it. Off East Pleasant Street on Orchard Hill is Fraternity/Sorority Park, which the university created in the 60's to get the Greeks to leave the row- the row is in front of the main gate, so we're considered an eyesore. The only houses up there now are Chi Omega and SigEp. The rest of the land (enough for about 30 houses) is now freshman parking lots and a waste transfer station.
