Sorority and fraternity housing at Emory University refers to the residential facilities that house members of the university's Greek organizations. Emory has 19 sorority and fraternity houses and lodges on campus.
These houses often feature amenities such as common areas for socializing, study spaces, kitchens, and sometimes even dining facilities. They can also serve as venues for various chapter activities, meetings, and events.
Sorority and fraternity housing at Emory University is governed by the Office of Sorority and Fraternity Life, which works closely with organizations to ensure that housing is safe and conducive to the academic and personal development of students. There are guidelines that include rules related to occupancy, conduct, and maintenance of the properties.
Living in sorority and fraternity housing fosters a strong sense of community and brotherhood/sisterhood among members, providing a supportive environment for personal and academic growth. Many members value the convenience, with easy access to chapter meetings, events, and activities.

Additional Information
Eligible students must first register for a parking permit through the Parking and Transportation Services parking portal. Decals for the Eagle Row house lot are not assigned through the permitting system and must be picked up separately.
Parking decals will be available for pickup in the Parking Office (Starvine Parking Deck, Clairmont Campus) beginning the Monday before classes start, between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.
Students must bring:
- Their valid Emory parking permit
- Their valid photo ID
Until decals are available, and anytime the house lot is full, students are required to park in their assigned parking deck. Decals do not guarantee a space in the house lot.
The following members of the Eagle Row community are eligible for a parking decal:
- Residents of Eagle Row: All residents that live on Eagle Row with a parking lot are eligible to receive a parking decal.
- Members of an IFC In-House Dining Plan
- Chapter Leaders: Each semester, OSFL will send out a request for a maximum of 2 chapter leaders interested in receiving a parking decal.
Maintenance and cleaning work requests are fulfilled by Campus Services staff on behalf of Housing Operations. Students may fill out a maintenance request form via the S.W.O.O.P. platform.
If students are experiencing a concern that requires emergency maintenance, please contact 404-727-7463. After 5pm, all emergency maintenance requests are routed through the Emory Police Department.
If you have any concerns about your work requests, repair timeline, or resolution for your issue, please contact a Housing Operations Facilities staff member for additional assistance.
Residents of Eagle Row are expected to follow the Housing Participation Agreement signed by the chapter president and headquarters. Residents are also expected to follow the residential policy as outlined by Housing & Residence Life, and their chapter’s headquarter policy and Emory’s code of conduct.
The Office of Sorority & Fraternity Life, Graduate House Directors, and chapter leadership work in collaboration to ensure that residents of Eagle Row are aware of policy and work to support members in understanding of policy and expectations.
Residential members residing in Eagle Row/Peavine Creek are allowed the opportunity to request installation of exterior decorations. The policy and guidance below will help students do so in a safe and responsible way. In addition, there is guidance on how students will work with Housing Operations to install items that students are not allowed to install. Please use this request form for all decorations.
Sorority lodges and fraternity/themed houses are permitted to request building-wide decorations. The organization/themed houses must provide the decorations and a design layout plan. Housing Operations and the Office of Sorority and Fraternity Life will review the design plan and approve or deny based on capacity.
Requests to decorate for Halloween must be submitted by October 1, 2025 at 11:59PM. Requests for Winter decorations must be submitted by November 7, 2025 at 11:59PM.
Housing Operations will be responsible for installing and removing interior and exterior decorations that require overhead installation. For safety reasons, this must not be done by students. Winter decorations will be installed after Thanksgiving break and will be taken down during or after the winter recess.
Organizations can put up limited exterior decorations that are not attached to the facility, are not electric, or have an active flame (ex: jack-o-lantern without a lit candle). These decorations must be out of the way of foot traffic and should not block pathways or doors.
If you have any additional questions or concerns as it relates to decorations, please do not hesitate to contact Hannah Howell, Senior Coordinator of Sorority and Fraternity Life via email at hannah.elizabeth.howell@emory.edu or via phone at 404.712.8222.
Each academic year, chapters can complete the Eagle Row Chapter Facility Occupancy Application to express interest in receiving representation on Eagle Row. Completion of this form does not guarantee lodging on Eagle Row; it indicates an interest in available bed spaces.
Once assigned a space on Eagle Row, chapters participate in the Community Assign process in collaboration with the Office of Sorority & Fraternity Life and Housing Occupancy and Assignments. Chapter leaders are trained on the Community Assign process each academic year.
The community assign process allows chapter leaders to place members into various room assignments within facilities. In order to be placed in a facility, a chapter member must have completed the Housing Application, notated Fraternity House or Sorority Lodge as their preferred leaving space and acknowledged the Sorority & Fraternity Life Addendum.
Chapters can refer to the Community Assign Quick Guide for more information about the Community Assign process.
Currently, there are nine IFC fraternities, eight Panhellenic sororities, one NPHC sorority, one MGC sorority, and one NPHC fraternity housed on Emory’s campus.

Once a chapter has received an assignment for the academic year, the chapter, headquarter representative, and an Emory Campus Life representative will sign the Housing Participation Agreement (HPA). A Housing Participation Agreement (HPA) for Eagle Row is a formal contract between a fraternity or sorority and Emory University that outlines the responsibilities and expectations for living in a chapter house. It includes details on occupancy requirements, financial obligations, facility maintenance, university policies and community standards.
Membership Costs
All of Emory’s sororities and fraternities are self-sufficient and each chapter (and its inter/national office) charges dues and membership fees to every member. The amount is determined by the chapter and usually goes toward recruitment, educational activities, new member education, philanthropy/service projects, and social events. Some chapters also have one-time initiate fees that are charged to help alleviate the costs of recruitment and new member requirements such as reading materials, pins, etc. Fees vary depending on chapter.
Housing Costs
