GREEN House is a residence located on North Campus in the fraternity quad that houses about 50 students. The building’s name is actually an acronym for Group Residence for Environmental Engagement at Northwestern, and it was built to promote environmental sustainability and awareness. Its residents come from a variety of majors and interests. They participate in campus activities on green living – and always crush the campus conservation contest Green Cup. GREEN House’s lounges provide a space for residents to hang out during their free time. They also share a building with the College of Cultural and Community Sciences.
