It’s no secret that Purdue students involved in Greek life want to live close to their fraternity or sorority house. Whether you’re grabbing meals at the house, attending chapter meetings, preparing for recruitment or simply spending time with brothers or sisters, location can make a big difference in your daily routine.
Unlike many universities, Purdue has two primary Greek housing areas: The Island, located on the eastern side of campus near academic buildings, and The Acres, located farther south near the France A. Cordova Recreational Sports Center (CoRec). Because of this, many students look for apartments that offer convenient access to both Greek neighborhoods while still being close to campus.
