Houses on Fraternity Row

For the 2026-2027 academic year, Resident Life will once again bring the Maryland Residential Experience to four houses on the Row! Available to eligible residence hall students, the four houses will offer the benefits of on-campus living and the opportunity to live in a prime UMD location.

Thanks to a partnership with the Departments of Fraternity and Sorority Life and Residential Facilities, room assignments for residence hall students will be available for the 2025-2026 academic year in houses 3, 7, 9, or 10 because these houses are not currently being used by Greek Life organizations. 

Important to note, these four houses will be used exclusively by residence hall students and not by any fraternity or sorority organizations for the 2025-2026 academic year.  

Each house will be co-ed and designated as mixed gender housing.  Every house includes one community bathroom designated for males, one community bathroom designated for females, and one single-user bathroom. Residents will also have the opportunity to register to stay in the house during the Fall, Thanksgiving, Winter and Spring break periods.

House features:

• Three-story buildings
• Air-conditioning (AC)
• Variety of room types – including singles, doubles and triples
• Large community spaces on the main floor
• Access to washer & dryer
• Shared residential kitchen with adjoining dining space
• Access to the 24-hour Leonardtown Community Center, located behind the Row
• Easy walking distance to McKeldin Mall, College Park Metro, and shops and restaurants in the City of College Park
• Located next to the recreational and fitness facilities in Ritchie Coliseum

Amenities

Houses on Fraternity Row are furnished with:

• Twin size bed and mattress
• Two-drawer dresser (in Houses 3, 7, and 9) or a three-drawer dresser (in House 10)
• Desk with a drawer (in Houses 3, 7, and 10) or a desk with a keyboard tray (in House 9)
• Desk chair

Each room also has window blinds, closet space, a smoke alarm, a fire suppression sprinkler, and an overhead light. Central air-conditioning is available during the University cooling season (typically from late April to September). 

Each house includes a kitchen with a full-size refrigerator, range/oven, sink, and microwave. Cooking supplies are not provided. Students have the flexibility to maintain a dining plan, modify their plan, or opt out of it. To cancel or modify a dining plan, visit the Dining Services website and login to your Dining Account.

Resident Life Staff

Resident Life staff members are available to assist residents with a variety of needs and services. House residents will receive services from Resident Life in conjunction with the Leonardtown Community. 

An Undergraduate Resident Assistant lives in each house and is available to provide support, respond to the personal needs of residents, and help foster an environment that supports academic and personal development.

Undergraduate Community Assistants manage the Leonardtown Community's 24-hour service desk, located in the Leonardtown Community Center directly behind Fraternity Row, and are a great resource for residents. The Leonardtown Community 24-hour service desk is the central location for mail and package pick-ups, key borrowing and replacements, and other customer service requests.

The Leonardtown Resident Director is responsible for overseeing the four houses and supporting residents. The Resident Director works in the Leonardtown Community and supervises all student staff members. The Resident Director works with residents to manage the house environment and foster a valuable social, cultural, and academic experience through various community development programs. Residents are also supported by programs and services of the Department of Residential Facilities, including service requests for maintenance and repairs, housekeeping and furnishings.
