SMU's is nice, but really can't hold a candle to some of the others I've seen. Penn State's is amazing, for the architechture (fyi, I have photos of the houses that are almost 100 years old), but once you're in some of them, eh.

I think UVA's is underrated, but am totally in love with Washington & Lee's!!

University of Washington. Beautiful houses on old tree-lined streets, taking up several blocks right off campus. www.uwgreeks.com

or, if you want to go directly to looking at the houses, start here for fraternities: http://depts.washington.edu/greek/if...maalphaepsilon
and here for sororities: http://www.uwpanhellenic.com/chapter-profiles.html

I am partial to LSU and the lake, also. There's nothning like spending a day on and around the lakes walking up and down the row looking at the pretty houses. I love it!!!! i think it's something that anyone should do whether you're a greek or not.

Ohio State's 15th Street is really pretty. It's about three blocks of fraternity/sorority houses. Purdue and IU also have nice greek rows.

I've visited OSU once and never got to see 15th Street. I hope to do that one day.

I've seen Illinois' Greek Row and it was very impressive.

HELLZ YEAH! I'm glad we have some recognition.
Our greek row is absolutely gorgeous. We take such good care of it as well as our campus.

NCSU's Greek Court is a joke right now, but they are constructing a Greek Village (modeled off of South Carolina's). Here is the ultimate plan:


Sorry it's so big. They are in phase 1 of the construction now. I think it's supposed to be done in 2018?

Washington & Lee's:
Just clarifying that this is sorority row only. Fraternities at W&L have two "rows," Davidson Park and Red Square. Sorority Row (Frank Parsons Way) is definitely prettier than the fraternity rows... at least in my opinion.

It strikes me now that I haven't seen many Greek rows. I've seen W&L's and Davidson's (not too beautiful). Texas doesn't really have anything that qualifies as a row. I've seen UVA's and UNC's too I guess... Oh and William and Mary's. Nothing of them were as striking to me as W&L's sorority row.

SMU is ok....


Tough one, as many schools have their houses spread across campus, and don't really have a "row".

Exactly.

If Arkansas had a row...with Kappa Sig, Sigma Chi added onto the Stadium Row, it would be very impressive. But we're split up.

I had forgotten how impressive University of Washington's Greek housing was. The number, in itself, is spectacular. The campus is also very impressive for a large urban institution -- almost parklike. It is worthy of a visit if you are ever in the northwest, but what in Seattle is not!
