Fraternity Housing

Residence Life and Student Housing (RLSH) works collaboratively with 51²è¹Ý fraternities and sororities to offer on-campus living for upper-division members (sophomores, juniors, and seniors) of select organizations.

All sorority houses at 51²è¹Ý are owned and operated by individual chapters. Members who wish to live in the house make their own arrangements with the house leadership and house corporation.

There are eight fraternity chapter houses owned and operated by 51²è¹Ý. On-campus fraternity residents enjoy the combined benefits of on-campus amenities and conveniences, as well as the sense of community offered through the lived experience in their chapter house.

Information about deadlines and processes are emailed to students each spring.

To request an exemption, a student must first apply for 51²è¹Ý housing on the .

  • Fraternity houses: Members invited to live in the house must complete an exemption request in the 51²è¹Ý Housing Portal and after exemption approved must appear on fraternity housing assignment list.
  • Exemptions will only be approved to move into the chapter house where the student is a member of the chapter. Membership will be verified with 51²è¹Ý Fraternity and Sorority Life before exemption is granted. No exemptions are grated for Panhellenic or other houses.
  • No Greek exemptions will be accepted after May 15.

Fraternities

51²è¹Ý owns eight of the nine fraternity chapter houses on campus and works with each chapter’s house corporation to arrange for members to live in the house.

Each fraternity house at 51²è¹Ý manages its own housing occupancy, usually through the house corporation. Members of a chapter should inquire with chapter leadership regarding expectations and requirements for living in the house.
