Graduate assistantship for Greek life?

[pi_love_emily]

Although not DC, University of Maryland has graduate students that live in the fraternity and sorority houses called SARFs (Student Affairs Resident Fellows) who get free housing, free 10 credits per semester (4 in the summer), and have all utilities and probably most meals included. Pretty sweet deal. Go to the UMD greek website if you want to know more because there is a lot of information.

I was a Greek Life GA last year. It was a wonderful year working with a huge Greek system, and I was able to gain more hands-on student affairs experience than many students in my program. Most schools I looked at reserve those positions for students in Student Affairs/Higher Ed and only open them to others if they aren't filled.

I don't know if you have a specific school in DC in mind or if you are interested in going to school in or near DC. The University of Maryland is VERY close to DC and has its own Metro stop.

The SARFs are "House Moms/Dads" but supervised by the University rather than through the House Corporation (though they do have some say).
