CAMPUS BEAUTIFUL Greek Living Todd and Dupree Halls, situated on Park Drive at the heart of campus, are now home to Eastern’s thriving Greek community. Having logged an average 63,000 hours of community service over the past three years, the approximately 1,000 members of Eastern’s sororities and fraternities are a highly visible positive force on campus. The Greek Towers provide a centrally located home to facilitate their work and build an even stronger sense of community. When Eastern renovated Todd and Dupree Halls, part of an ongoing residence hall maintenance project, it did so with input from members of each Greek organization, chapter advisers and the Greek Life office. The Greek Towers not only provide living space for active chapter members but also chapter offices and a gathering place for alumni. The Greek Towers are part of a trend at Eastern for special interest housing, including Living Learning Communities for first year students, students sharing special interests (i.e. fitness, community outreach, outdoor adventure), and those pursuing particular academic majors.
