Do the Greek organizations at Duke have housing?
Fourteen (14) of the 15 IFC chapters enjoy housing through dedicated areas of the residence halls called “sections.” Generally, sections include common areas, study space, storage areas, and contiguous bedrooms. Typically, all sophomore members will live in a fraternity section, but many juniors and seniors who continue to reside on campus will choose to live in section as well. Members living in section maintain a contract not with the fraternity itself, but through the University Housing office. As such, these areas are maintained by university housing staff and are subject to housing rules and regulations. The Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life provides organizations without a designated living area with alternate storage space on campus, and works with each group to obtain rooms for the organizations’ various events and meetings.
