Cooperative housing is similar to the Greek system of housing, with a few key differences.
- Cooperative housing saves money by not outsourcing daily tasks, such as cooking, cleaning, or yardwork.
- Cooperative housing is also a much smaller community, with 12 houses, rather than 70+ chapters in the greek system.
- Cooperative houses do not have national chapters. About Gemini:
There are twent
y-one rooms at Gemini, each housing members with high speed fiber-optic internet connections and satelite television with multiple movie channels. Each member does an average of two house jobs per week. The men cook all of their meals, taking turns preparing lunches and dinners. This all comes at a cost that is nearly half the price of residence halls! We have a computer room with house computers. There is also house wide wireless internet that is connected along with a house network system for file transfer, printer sharing, and game play among rooms. Set on top of the hill greeting Purdue travelers along US 231, the house boasts a great view of the levee with downtown Lafayette in the skyline. Gemini is about a six minute walk from the east side of campus and set in an ideal location for dining and shopping. The Levee Plaza sits at the foot of our hill, where a variety of stores, restaurants, and a 7 screen movie complex can be enjoyed. Two blocks to our west is the Chauncey Hill Mall.
