what college has the most beautiful fraternities/sororities?

[kk_bama]

I do have to say that Bama's sorority row is not your typical row. I know that at many schools, fraternity and sorority houses are interspersed among each other, but here at Bama, they are segregated.

Sorority Row houses are very close together in comparison to other schools, which is pretty convenient and makes for a less tiring Rush for the potential new members.

I don't know where to find links to pictures of all the houses, but this is a picture of my sorority house at Bama.

I heard the DZ house at OU is pretty, though.

OU doesn't have DZ.

But OU has some gorgeous houses, almost all mansion-like. All the sorority houses are pretty, and the Betas' and the Sigma Chi's have pretty houses. The rest of the fraternities' houses are nice, but they aren't as pretty as the sorority houses.

The University of Oklahoma has beautiful houses. As do the other universities mentioned.

The DG house at Texas A&M is beautiful! It was just built a couple years ago!

I vote for the 'Tornado Belt' schools (Beta houses):

Oklahoma:


Oklahoma State:


Kansas State:

DePauw has some really nice houses, especially considering that it's a small liberal arts school. Plus, two sororities' alpha chapters are housed there:

I toured AXO on my campus tour a year and a half ago and the inside was gorgeous. I'm definitely jealous that my school's sorority houses only house 10-15 girls.

It would be hard to choose one campus with the most beautiful houses, but if you absolutely had to, it would be Alabama. I've been to all those campuses mentioned and yes, they all have magnificent houses. But on those campuses the Greek houses also tend to fall into a range; there's a top-to-bottom heirarchy with some fabulous houses at one end and some ragged ones - or some the victims of unfortunate architecture - at the other. Alabama has no range. The lush, southern campus shaded by ancient trees is a luxuriant landscape for these houses. There are many of them, and they are all within the bounds of traditional collegiate architecture. They all look like what you would expect a traditional fraternity or sorority house to look like. There is no mixture of classic and "progressive" architecture (if you want to see an example of a mix of classic traditional and ghastly "what the hell is that!" archtecture, see the University of Central Florida) The houses at Alabama are not alike, they are not cookie-cutter, and none are huge in terms of their capacity. But, they are breathtaking, both as a group or taken individually. The attention to architectural detail, the generous grounds and the landscaping are unmatched.

Just a small correction madmax....

Based on the pics I like the houses at U. of Washington, Penn State, and Cornell. I also like the old pics from Amherst. The houses are all unique.

The schools with greek villages have some great houses but the think I don't like about villages is almost every house looks the same. http://www.inform.umd.edu/CampusInf...ngs/fraternity/
In sorority girl talk it would be like going to the prom and you have the best dress but 5 other girls show up with the same dress.



University of Maryland's "Greek Village" is called Fraternity Row and not every house is on Fraternity Row. For example, we have the Graham Cracker which is were majority of the sorority houses are located. Also there are some fraternity houses that are off the row beside the Graham Cracker....summing up there are alot of houses off the row that look good but are just not as great as some of the houses that have been posted

WOW! When that's done it looks like it will be amazing... any other schools with "greek villages"?

UBC is currently constructing a Greek Village - the fraternity houses opened at the beginning of the year and the Panhellenic house should open within the next few weeks (as far as I know).

Long Beach is considering a Greek VIllage but is still 7 million years short of being able to do it. It will probably not happen until I'm done with school but I do have hope that they will build it for other Greeks to come.

Of course I'm biased, but I think our house is the prettiest one on campus:

That website is really old...we're in the process of creating a new one. Hit the Back button on the bottom left to see the other sorority houses at SU. AOPi, Gamma Delta Theta, and Sigma Kappa no longer exist here...their houses were either taken over by the university or another chapter.

Best modern Greek Row I've seen is at Middle Tenn. in Murfreesboro.

I guess the school owns/controls the site/houses, but all the houses are large, attractive, and distinctive.

GA Southern also has a new Row with some nice houses.

I have to definitely agree, Firehouse! Our houses are not necessarily huge, but they are all beautiful and well-kept. When was the last time you were on campus?
