UCLA's Residential Greek-letter organizations maintain
their own private housing adjacent to campus. Over 1000 men
and women are provided with housing opportunities in fraternity
and sorority chapter facilities. Each person living in a
Greek chapter house keeps an independent schedule, but everyone
gathers for weekly meetings and chapter-wide events.
Generally,
fraternity and sorority housing is available the second year
of membership. In both cases, membership often exceeds
those that live-in the chapter houses with an average capacity
for sororities at 50, fraternities at 40.
Fraternities
and sororities are managed and maintained by established housing
corporations that own the properties and take care of major
upkeep and repairs. There are a variety of amenities such
as study areas, storage spaces, computer rooms and laundry facilities. Living
in a fraternity or a sorority chapter house offers students with
many benefits and includes a variety of services.
What is included in fraternity/sorority living:
- House director/advisor supervision
(all sororities and some fraternities)
- Full service meals provided by cooks
or catering services
- Study areas, computer rooms, and access
to academic resources
- Individual phone and computer lines/hook-ups
- Comparable dorm-style room set-ups
(will vary by fraternity or sorority)
- Security and patrol systems (varies
by chapter)
- Coin-operated washers and dryers on-site
- Parking (limited and will vary by fraternity
or sorority)

Summer Housing Opportunities:
Many
residential fraternities offer summer housing to men and women
at affordable
rates. For a current listing of costs,
contact information, and amenities, you can find the information

Spring Quarter concludes in June with commencement occurring on
the weekend of June 16-17. Therefore, summer housing will
not be available until after June 17, 2006.
