How Close Is Fraternity Housing to The Standard at Syracuse?

IFC fraternity houses at Syracuse University are privately owned and concentrated along Comstock Avenue and Walnut Avenue on the south and east sides of campus, a nine-minute walk from The Standard at Syracuse.

The Comstock Avenue and Walnut Avenue houses represent the main concentration of IFC fraternity chapter houses at SU. Greek Week, Homecoming events, and chapter social gatherings draw students to the Comstock and Walnut area throughout the semester.

SU’s Panhellenic sororities do not maintain residential chapter houses, in keeping with New York State law, so social events hosted by sorority chapters typically take place in on-campus facilities or other venues rather than dedicated chapter houses.
