Classes are limited to 25 students and are taught by award-winning senior faculty, whose experience and research contribute to the design of the innovative, cohesive programming and coursework in the community. This community is open to all students who agree to spend an uncommon amount of time reading, listening, thinking and talking in pursuit of both personal greatness and societal improvement. Fraternity and sorority housing is available to students who become members of Greek organizations after their first semester. Thirty-two of the 37 chapters have houses right on the University campus. The camaraderie of living and studying with Greek members, sharing in social, service and philanthropic endeavors has been a campus tradition for 55 years.
Most chapters hire their own cooks and meals are prepared in the houses.
Each chapter also has a live-in staff member hired and trained by the Office of Residence Life.
