Fraternity & Sorority Housing

Housing arrangements for each fraternity and sorority at Illinois Wesleyan University vary as some chapters own their houses and some chapters live in University-owned facilities. The actual living arrangements vary greatly in regard to how many members may reside in a house, and in each room.

Chapters with privately-owned houses commonly run their own meal plan with a fraternity cook employed to prepare meals while chapters living in University-owned houses board with Dining Services.

University-Owned Chapter Houses

Five fraternities are currently housed in University-owned chapter houses. These chapters are: Acacia, Phi Gamma Delta (FIJI), Sigma Chi, Tau Kappa Epsilon, and Theta Chi.

Each chapter has a House Manager that works with the Office of Fraternity & Sorority Life on issues such as maintenance, house improvements, and room assignments. Each chapter establishes their own policies with regard to room assignments and many establish additional residency requirements beyond the four semester residency policy established by IWU. Contracts for University-owned chapter houses are signed in October for the following academic year. University-owned chapter houses are typically open during May term.
