Fraternity Housing Complex
The University of Pittsburgh’s fraternities are located in both on- and off-campus housing. The fraternities with on-campus housing can be found on the hill near Sutherland Hall and between Panther Hall and the Falk School. Students commonly refer to the fraternity houses as “the hill houses.” The fraternity housing complex was constructed at a cost of approximately $450,000 ($1.04 million) for each of the eight units that opened in the fall of 1984. Each unit has an occupancy of 25 students. The original eight fraternities that occupied the complex were Delta Tau Delta, Sigma Chi, Phi Kappa Theta, Zeta Beta Tau, Phi Kappa Alpha, Theta Chi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and Delta Sigma Delta. Currently, seven of Pitt’s undergraduate fraternities occupy the buildings on the hill.
