Costs block development of Greek row

Mason has twenty fraternities and sororities that recruit in the fall and sixteen more that accept members throughout the school year. Yet without campus-provided housing, the groups face unique problems like reserving spaces for events and forming their own living arrangements. Members often room together or rent houses off campus.

Greeks raise money for charity during Shack-a-Thon

Although the shacks have since come down, earlier this week sororities and fraternities hitched up small shacks, many themed, to raise money for charity. The annual Shack-a-Thon is celebrated every year during Greek Week, where Greeks from all around campus build and live in the small shacks, all while collecting money for Habitat for Humanity.
