Moving In & Out
As with the College Houses, specific opening dates are set each year, and house occupants may not move in prior to those dates without official involvement in approved University-related programs and filing the appropriate paperwork and express written consent from the Office of Fraternity Sorority Affairs. Multiple notices go out to chapters as well as those populations when early arrival is usually necessary.
FOR SPECIFIC DATES, PLEASE SEE THE EVENTS CALENDAR.
