Wabash offers students three housing options: fraternities or residence halls for all students, and off-campus living for juniors and seniors. In all settings, students are responsible for governing their living environment.

Students are required to live in College housing during their first two years unless they commute from home. Much of the activities on campus are designed around living units, including intramural sports, campus social events, and community service activity.

Fraternities
More than half of the students at Wabash live in the nine national fraternities that have chapters at Wabash. All chapter houses are located close to campus, and all fraternities have their own dining plans and establish their own room and board rates. Study rooms and sleeping accommodations vary from house to house, though all fraternity houses have general common areas, computer rooms, and study rooms, and all have laundry facilities. Wabash is in the process of constructing new or renovating all of the College-owned houses, part of the $30 million Fraternity Partnerships Campaign.
 
All 9 of Wabash’s national fraternities host open houses during Honor Scholarship Weekend and again during Orientation Week in the fall. These open houses are designed to allow fraternity men to get to know prospective members and for new students to get to know the fraternities. Most Wabash fraternities also host summer rush events, which provide good opportunities to get to know brothers away from campus.
 
Fraternities across America have been criticized much of the last decade for poor behavior and low grades. At Wabash, we’re proud of our fraternities and the young men who live and learn in them. The fraternity chapters at Wabash help to develop in young men good study habits and provide countless opportunities for leadership and community service. Fraternity members also form relationships that endure long after graduation. Combined, Wabash’s fraternities boast grade point averages of 3.0 or higher and contribute hundreds of hours of community service each year.
 
Please review the various chapter websites, links for which can be found below. We think those sites — and conversations with Wabash fraternity men — will help educate new students about fraternity life and the entire fraternity rush process at Wabash.
 
Just as fraternities at Wabash are different than at many colleges and universities, each fraternity chapter at Wabash is distinctive from the others. We hope these web pages help you make an informed decision about whether to pursue Greek life or choose to live in a residence hall during your time at Wabash.

Residence Halls
Thirty-five percent of the student body lives in the five residence halls:

• Martindale Hall
• College Hall
• Morris Hall
• Wolcott Hall
• Cole Hall
• and a few college-owned houses.

Martindale, the largest of these, houses more than 100 men. It also has the greatest variety of rooms, including singles, doubles, and triples. College Hall and 603 W. Wabash have double rooms which house 78 and 63 men respectively.  Morris and Wolcott, each housing 34 upperclassmen, have only single rooms with every two rooms joined by a bathroom. College-owned houses near campus are available for eligible upperclassmen.

Each residence hall has common areas for its residents, recreation spaces, and lounges on the individual floors or in the basement, and laundry facilities. All are air-conditioned. Additionally, Resident Assistants (RAs) live on each floor or in each building. They are upperclassmen that have been selected to assist residents in developing community on the floor or in the building.

Men living in the residence halls eat at Sparks Center. Students are provided a selection of meal plans.
