Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed your visit. Great question, too… We have a variety of housing on campus. There are three (or maybe four?) “Social Houses” on campus, which do, as a fraternity would, have a formal rush process. However, they are not necessarily the center of social life on campus and all are open to any student, male or female. Rush and pledging take place beginning Sophomore year, and you can either live in the house or in the dorms.
In addition, I think I talked about superblocks. Which are also large group houses with themes or shared interests, but do not have a name that remains with the group throughout the years and do not have rush. These houses are applied to as a part of the regular housing process.
I hope that helped!

Teresa

We very much enjoyed your talk today. As promised, you provided all the info expected from the admissions office but added a student’s anecdotes to add color, interest and perspective. Thank you.

One question: You mentioned co-ed clubs or houses that sounded like fraternities but were more like social clubs. Do these clubs have houses where they meet? Does one join them like one would a fraternity? Can one stay at these houses for an entire semester or does one sleep in dorms but meet socially at the houses?

Thanks,

Alex
