If you're considering the University of Minnesota Law School, you should consider life as a member of Gamma Eta Gamma, the only co-ed law fraternity of its kind in the United States. Gamma takes great pride in offering low cost housing to a select group of new students every year and affording them the opportunity to live and learn with second and third year students in the heart of the U of M's Dinkytown area, a short 15 minute walk from the Law School. Gamma also serves as a social hub for the Law School, hosting a range of much-anticipated gatherings and parties every year. Yet Gamma's ample law library and quiet study areas help balance out life in a vibrant community. Please explore our site and feel free to contact us if you think Gamma Eta Gamma is right for you. - Members, Gamma Eta Gamma |
If you'd like to apply to live in the Gamma House, please download our application. Yes, we know. The dates are wrong. We're sorry. You can either mail it to us, or submit your answers via a word document to Jeremy at jone1154@umn.edu. Built in 1892, the Gamma House represents a stately Richardsonian Romanesque style that borrows its design cues from such landmarks as Trinity Church in Boston and the Bazaar building at the Minnesota State Fair. At one time a speak-easy and, briefly during the Great War, a storage area for munitions, this red-sandstone masterpiece has served as headquarters for the Gamma Eta Gamma Fraternity at the University of Minnesota since 1966. The house is an amazing architectural specimen, balancing its imposing presence with the subtle warmth of woodwork and stained glass. The incorporation of an amalgamation of various influences is mirrored by the house's history as a temporary home for generations of lawyers. From State judges to accomplished lawyers and respected philanthropists, Gamma Eta Gamma holds a unique place in the history of the University of Minnesota. We're proud to call it home. If you're looking for more specific information about living in the house, please take a look at our frequently asked questions page. |
