Five on-campus facilities have been designated specifically for members of the Greek community. They are located on Sorority and Fraternity Rows, near Centennial Lake. Each house has a live-in Graduate Community Director and an undergraduate Community Assistant. Both act as liaisons between Residence Life, Facilities, and the Office of Student Involvement. These special group living units provide students with the unique opportunity to balance extra freedoms with added responsibilities. This housing privilege is bestowed either by designated spaces or within an entire freestanding house. The regulation of these facilities is in accordance with the Student Code of Social Conduct.
Each chapter with a facility is required to meet specific minimum occupancy levels and other regulations. For this reason, each student who joins a fraternity or sorority with an on-campus facilitiy is required to live in the house when there is room. Information concerning Rider’s Greek community and housing can be obtained from the Office of Student Involvement at [email protected].
Rider University does not recognize any fraternity or sorority that maintains an official off-campus residential house.
Community Directors and Community Assistants
Each Greek facility has a live-in Graduate Community Director and one undergraduate student Community Assistant who is employed by the University. Both work with the Department of Facilities Management, Public Safety, and the Offices of Residence Life and Fraternity and Sorority Life to ensure that the house operations run smoothly.
Each staff member provides information regarding fire safety, occupancy, facilities issues, and works with the University to provide the best environment possible for their organizations. They also organize programs, oversee room selection, schedule home improvement days, and are the key link for house operations.
