"Boarding" in student organization housing units

Several Purdue independent living groups accept boarders. This includes fraternities, sororities, and
cooperative houses.

Organizations screen applicants to determine compatibility with house members. These organizations are recognized student organizations affiliated with Purdue; however, they are private residences and students should fully explore
lease terms and living arrangements before signing a contract. Call 765-494-1231 for updated contact information for groups that do not list a phone number.

Compare costs to University Residences, and local apartments.

For fraternities, sororities, and cooperatives wishing to add a listing, make updates, or remove your listing from this
site , send information to sao@purdue.edu.
