Cost for room and board is generally less than the residence halls. Hazing is prohibited in all Greek organizations and alcohol is prohibited in all sororities. Several more fraternities are considering following suit. A student-run Judicial Committee hears cases of violations of the Greek Code of Conduct and imposes sanctions. As in the co-ops, each chapter is responsible for the functioning of its house.
All sororities have a paid resident house director.
Live-in members get rooms based on points they have earned in service to the house, the Greek system, and the University. Most fraternities and sororities are well located in attractive buildings southeast of campus in the eight blocks bounded by College, Prospect, Bancroft, and Dwight.
