Abstract:
Sorority housing is one of the many parts of Greek life that is growing nationwide. The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate which type of housing would be best for Ball State University by looking into positives and negatives of sorority housing, different housing options at other universities, and the history of Ball State University's Greek Life community. Some of the housing options that will be discussed include no housing, residence halls, village, and row houses. The universities included in the research include Bowling Green State University, Indiana State University, North Carolina State University, University of Houston, Indiana University, and Ball State University. Interviews of sorority women and university staff members at more than five universities are used to enhance the research and provide perspective of housing options.
