Background

Scope and content:

Contains small collections of materials from Duke University undergraduate living groups, federations, associations, and governing councils. [Information on greek organizations can be found in the Fraternities and Sororities collection.]

Biographical / historical:

Living Groups at Duke University are non-greek residential organizations which strive to provide a social and/or academic network for students. Some Living Groups are coeducational. Selective Living Groups require an application or rush to recruit new members, while Independent Living Groups maintain an open membership policy. Living Groups on campus are required to bring diverse programming to the University. This programming benefits both members and nonmembers of the living group with events that broaden the group members' experiences. Living groups are encouraged to foster faculty interaction; community service; educational, social, and cultural programming; and citizenship, scholarship, and leadership activities.
