Living in a Fraternity House 2009-2010
What is the Fraternity House contract submission process?
- Fraternity house contracts are due March 5, prior to all Residential Life housing rounds.
- If you are planning on living in the fraternity house, speak with your house manager ASAP.
- Advance payments are not required for living in a fraternity house; however a $450.00 fee will be applied to a student's account upon the cancellation of his contract, regardless of when the contract is cancelled.
- Contracts will be available from House Managers.
- Please note: Most fraternities have requirements for members to live in, please talk with the leadership of your specific chapter for details on what is required from you on living in.
- Also note: Actual room assignments will be done by May 1st as each Fraternity Chapter has its own process for room selection within their organizational structure.
What is an “occupancy rate” and how does it affect members and pledges?
- Each fraternity is expected to occupy its house to the full capacity.
- Those men that are new members or current members of a Fraternity will not be allowed to continue through the lottery process if at the deadline the chapter house does not have contracts filled out equaling 100% of the occupancy for the academic year. This is ultimately due to the fact that if one was to live in Residential Life housing while his Fraternity House is not full, that man is considered by the Greek Life Office as having two housing spots, one that is reserved for him in his Fraternity House and the one that he would be living in Residential Life housing.
- If a current fraternity house resident wants to return to Residential Life housing in next year, he will receive a lottery number equivalent to his class standing however, he will only be eligible to petition for housing if his fraternity has submitted contracts equivalent to 100% of occupancy by the March deadline.
- Please note: If you want to remain in Residential Life Housing but your fraternity does not submit 100% of contracts by the March deadline, unfortunately you will not be able to participate in the room assignment process.
