<p>What are some colleges where both fraternitys and sororities have houses that you live in? I know “houses you live in” may seem redundant, but like vanderbilt has sorority houses that only officers live in! I’m just curious… thanks:)</p>
<p>Google a school you’re interested in and ‘greek life’. That will generally take you to the greek life page and you can look around.</p>
<p>A very small number of the many examples: Arizona, Indiana, Alabama, Texas, Georgia, Michigan, Michigan State, Purdue, Missouri, UCF, Maryland, Arkansas, Wittenberg, Miami of Ohio, etc.</p>
<p>to me a school with a strong greek system should be avoided!</p>
<p>@zobroward–Not everyone is like you. Some students want a strong greek system the way you may have wanted a certain size or a certain location</p>
<p>Yeah, being in a big greek system is pretty important to me! That’s why I have dartmouth, vandy and duke as my main schools!</p>
<p>Most colleges with a greek system have fraternity in sorority houses. How many people lives in them depends on the college. Some places that are huge on Greek life have multi-million dollar mansions where the entire chapter can live, other places have smaller houses (because of space or price) and only a handful of members can live there.</p>
<p>For example, on my campus our house can hold around 18, while another one of our chapters a few states away has a house that can hold over 60.</p>
<p>My favorites are UVA and Chapel Hill. Though UVA has a more defined greek row than most others I have seen. heres part of it: [imgur:</a> the simple image sharer](<a href=“http://imgur.com/M92Ta]imgur:”>Imgur: The magic of the Internet)</p>
<p>The Big Ten schools…Illinois, Indiana, Ohio State etc</p>
<p>LSU has a pretty strong greek system. There’s about 10 fraternities & 20 sororities along with an “old” & “new” greek row. About 20% of LSU’s population is Greek.</p>
<p>University of Washington has the large mansions on tree-lined streets, many of which hold over 80 members. Members of some are required to live-in all four years. (The university doesn’t have room in the dorms for all freshmen, so the Greek system is an important part of the housing.)
Although most of the fraternity houses are beautiful on the outside, many are pretty awful on the inside and smell like dirty socks and stale beer.</p>
<p>Maryland has Frat Row with a bunch of big fraternity houses, and the ‘graham cracker’ which is a big block of sorority houses.</p>

<p>However, if I’m not mistaken, you can’t have big public parties at the frat houses, so a lot of the times their big parties take place in satellite houses.</p>
<p>UW-Madison has a street with all the frats and sororities on it. They’re mostly all big old mansions, and some of them have a view of a giant lake (Lake Mendota). I actually just signed a lease to live in an apartment on that street, hopefully it’s not too loud but there will definitely be some noise. </p>
<p>Greek life here is only 10% of the student body, but they’re all really involved, so you can be Greek or not and be completely happy. I was in a sorority for a year, it wasn’t for me so I dropped, but I’m sure a lot of people would really love it.</p>
<p>Yes, UVa has about 30 fraternities where students live in the houses. There also are a number of newer fraternities (such as ones geared towards students from other parts of the world) that do not have residential houses. In addition, there are something like 20 sororities, most of which have residential houses. Some of the fraternities are having trouble convincing their members to live in them, because they are not always the most pleasant of living conditions. (make sure you wear waterproof shoes in the showers to avoid athlete’s foot).</p>
<p>Emory is about 1/3rd Greek, and most brothers live in the houses. </p>
<p>Both Berkeley and UCLA have a traditional frat row (although I’ve heard Berkeley’s frat row described as more like a frat neighborhood).
I believe UCI has traditional greek life. </p>
<p>OP, most schools with recognized greek life have members that live in houses. Check the website of any school you’re interested in to be sure.</p>

<p>No, not all.
Sororities at Penn State are in dorms:</p>

<p>Though why I am giving advice to someone who is interested in being a greek I have no idea.</p>
