frat houses
Brotherhood living quarters
Frat houses are residences where members of college fraternities live together.
These buildings, often large older homes near campus, serve as social headquarters for Greek letter organizations.
The term evokes a culture of parties, drinking, and male bonding—sometimes admiringly, often critically: The neighbors complained about noise from the frat houses on Greek Row.
