LiveOn in Sorority Housing
The University is pleased to provide on-campus housing in South Halls for Panhellenic Sorority Chapters at Penn State. The sororities contribute greatly to the campus and town communities through many philanthropic activities.
Each sorority chapter will be assigned space in a renovated residence hall in South Halls, with each floor housing between 26-33 students. Students are assigned to double-occupancy rooms. Individual, private-use bathrooms are available on each floor. Sorority chapters who qualify are eligible for a dedicated sorority chapter suite that includes a living room and kitchenette for exclusive use by chapter members. Chapters who do not qualify for a dedicated suite will have access to an open suite on the floor. A large meeting room is also available on the first floor.
Eligibility Guidelines
Eligibility for a student to receive a Housing and Food Service (HFS) Contract for sorority housing is determined by the guidelines established in the Sorority Housing Terms, Conditions, and Regulations. Sorority housing is focused on students in their first year of membership with the chapter, which includes:
- Student who currently live on campus and will be in their first-year of membership next year
- Students who currently live off campus and will be in their first-year of membership next year
- Current sorority members living on campus and are able to participate in LiveOn Housing Process
A list of all eligible members to reside in sorority housing for the upcoming academic year will be submitted to the Housing Assignment Office by the deadline date. The Housing Assignment Office will review the list of members to verify eligibility. Some members on the list may not be eligible to receive a HFS Contract offer.
Room Changes
If a vacancy exists in the sorority housing and there are no members to move into that space, the Sorority Assistant will be notified that room assignments may need to be consolidated and independent students (not affiliated with the chapter) may be assigned to the space. The Housing Assignment Office reserves the right to fill any vacancies with other students.
Sorority members may use the Room Exchange eBoard in eLiving to process room changes during the advertised times that the eBoard is available. Sorority members may only switch rooms with other sorority members with the same type of Housing Contract. Sorority members assigned to a specific room for a medical accommodation may not be able to switch rooms.
Refer to the Terms, Conditions, and Regulations related to the sorority housing for additional details about the Housing Process.
