Greek Housing Examples <br />Treanor Architects, Inc. is possibly the architectural firm with the largest number <br />of new and remodeled Greek housing facilities in the country. <br />http://www.treanorarchitects.com/ Good examples of their work can be found <br />on their Greek Life Portfolio web page. <br />http'//www treanorarchitects.com/greeklife port.html Exterior photos may be <br />pulled up on some of the sorority and fraternity houses. Tabs to the right of <br />each photo provide interior views of the common spaces. <br />Hug & Associates, LLC is an Atlanta, GA firm that has designed several Greek <br />houses recently.

The University of Minnesota is currently in the <br />exploratory phase of consolidating Greek chapters along University Ave. into <br />a condominium development at a distant site. http://www.capstone- <br />dev.com/com communities.asp Capstone's concept and development <br />• process is explained in the following site: http://www.capstone- <br />dev.com/greek.asp . There are no images of their completed projects, but <br />facilities would look much like the newer dormitory buildings on their web site. <br />Alpha Gamma Rho is not currently considering the participation in a <br />condominium housing arrangement. <br />This discussion presents the opportunity to frame the philosophy of Greek life in <br />the 21St century. Setting all the past negative Greek stereotypes, perpetuated <br />by the movie industry and unfortunate incidents in the news, aside, colleges <br />and universities generally embrace "A Call for Values Congruence". <br />http://www.aascu.ora/leadership/values congruence/congruence 05.pdf The <br />essence of this document is contained in the words found on page 4 as <br />follows: "A call for Values Congruence outlines a specific set of <br />strategies that campuses with negative Greek behavioral issues can use <br />to close the gap between what fraternities and sororities espouse and <br />what their chapters do." This is the current guiding document behind the <br />University of Minnesota's contract with Greek chapters and their Greek <br />advising program.
