## Greek Housing

Of the 54 Greek organizations at UNC, including both fraternities and sororities, 28 of them have their own house. Depending on the chapter, members are either required to live in the house for a minimum number of years or they are given the option to live wherever they choose, be it in the house or elsewhere. The typical fraternity or sorority household is anywhere from 20 to as many as 80 people in some instances. In order to live in the house, members typically pay higher dues than those living elsewhere. Rooms are generally upstairs and are either doubles or singles depending on how crowded the house is. Many houses have meal plans and house cooks or house moms that prepare food for the residents. House moms also take care of day-to-day house affairs.
