Abstract
The subject of Super University has application for several disciplines and audiences. The methodology most directly contributes to the field of community planning, as it is an inquiry into planning history and housing satisfaction. While the planning and architecture fields are rich with research on community development, domestic architecture, and housing satisfaction, very little of it has been directed toward college students and almost none toward fraternities and sororities. For this reason, this study indirectly contributes to the fields of architecture, geography, and higher education/student affairs. The place and manner of college housing overlaps these research disciplines and much of the historical overview is culled from diverse sources. Likewise, student housing continues to be an active interest of university administrators, faculty, and staff, fraternity and sorority alumni(ae) at the local and national level, city administrators and planners who have colleges or universities within their jurisdictions, and of course, students themselves. These audiences, with their common concern of housing students, will benefit from the research in this thesis by reevaluating their own housed greek systems. Hopefully, the discussion provided in this thesis will stimulate discussion across disciplines and professions previously considered unconnected.
