Fraternity & Sorority Housing
A vibrant part of our campus, Greek organizations call 11 buildings across campus home — from shady, tree-lined University Avenue to a Tudor-style home on a hill overlooking our beautiful campus.
Because these houses are owned by the university, you enjoy all the conveniences of campus living. Plus, the opportunity to immerse yourself in the culture and activities of your fraternity or sorority make these houses a true home away from home.
These houses include Tau Kappa Epsilon, Sigma Kappa, Zeta Tau Alpha, Alpha Delta Pi, Kappa Delta, Pi Kappa Phi, Phi Mu Delta, Theta Chi, Sigma Gamma Rho, Sigma Alpha Iota and Phi Beta Sigma.

Frequently Asked Questions
Selection is prioritized by groups on different nights. All members of a group must meet the qualifications for a given selection night to participate in the lottery. Within the selection itself, lottery numbers are randomized.
Find roommates through Roommate Selection and participate in the Housing Selection process as usual, since you will still need housing on campus in the fall.
You can either email Residence Life with information regarding a planned GO swap or participate in the GO Lottery later in the fall. Be sure to check your Susquehanna email for details while you are away.
Residence Life works with students year-round on housing placements. Due to the nature of GO commitments, sometimes GO swaps are canceled, and students are rolled into the GO Lottery if that occurs.
No, not all students on 18th Street are 21. Students must be members of the senior class and matched with other seniors to participate in the housing lottery for placement on 18th Street.
We have many doubles, singles and triples available across campus that are not in suites. We encourage you to select one of these spaces if you cannot fill a suite.
You can break up your group in any way you choose. For example, if you are a group of four but only three-person suites are left, three people can go into a suite, and the fourth person can enter a single. We encourage all groups to have backup plans in case their desired space or group size is unavailable at their selection time.
If you do not participate in the housing selection process and do not communicate with Residence Life about plans such as a GO Long trip or student teaching placement, you will be assigned housing and a meal plan approximately six to eight weeks before the next term begins.
