Cooperatives and Greek Housing back to housing, food, hangouts links Cooperative Housing Members of cooperatives share household responsibilities, such as cleaning and preparing meals, to maintain a comfortable living environment and to reduce living costs. The twelve cooperative houses on the West Lafayette Campus average 35 residents each. To live in cooperative housing, inquire by January 15 for the following fall semester. Most Greek organizations offer housing and meal service for their members. Men's and women's houses provide friendship, intramural athletics, social activities, community service, and academic support for their members.
Membership is lifelong, and alumni activities are numerous at the national and local level.
Greek housing is open by invitation through Purdue's 44 fraternities and 25 sororities. Both average between 80 and 95 residents. Because current students arrange their housing early, you should begin your search two or three months before moving. And if you prefer not to cook, both the University residence halls and Purdue Memorial Union offer meal plans. Students can buy a variety of meal plans to fit their lifestyle.
