The Alpha Gamma Delta Fraternity Housing Corporation (FHC) was formed in 2010 by Alpha Gamma Delta International Fraternity. The FHC exists to create and sustain inclusive spaces that foster learning, community and growth.

The FHC currently works with 80 percent of Alpha Gamma Delta chapters. The remaining chapters work with local House Associations run by Alpha Gamma Delta volunteers. Chapters not listed on the FHC’s website are locally managed and do not currently work with the FHC.

The FHC works directly with the local Alpha Gam chapter to provide the services that make sense for their campus. In owned or leased homes, the FHC is usually responsible for the regular maintenance and capital improvements to the physical structure in addition to daily support for utilities, landscaping, cleaning, safety and security systems, meal service and staff (House Director, Head Chef) etc. For locations where the college or university owns the facility, the FHC may provide furnishings, supplies and some vendor services. Alpha Gamma Delta members who do not live in the house are typically required to pay a Parlor Fee to cover the costs associated with access to and use of the space, including but not limited to utilities, WiFi, meals, general maintenance, etc. Members who do not live in the house are provided with access to the facility during visiting hours set by the chapter.

The RMA is a legally binding agreement between the local chapter and your Alpha Gam member. This agreement is like a lease for a rental property or an apartment and outlines the terms of service and costs. Upon execution, the member is obligated to fulfill the financial terms of the agreement, which include the cost of both room and board (if board is offered at the location). Members are accountable for signed agreements because the chapter house requires full house occupancy to provide the services available to the members. An unpaid vacancy in the house creates a financial shortfall.

House Director, sometimes called a “House Mom”, is an FHC employee responsible for the daily
management of the physical structure and the meal program. House Directors live and dine on
property. They maintain active communication with the chapter officers through weekly meetings
and are available to the general chapter membership regularly, often during set office hours.

Room and board are determined based on the services provided and an evaluation of the local market. The cost to live in comparable facilities such as similar sorority homes, local apartments and on-campus residence halls are all used as reference points. The FHC is a non-for-profit and income after expenses is used to improve facilities.

For Fraternity Housing Corporation chapters, housing fees are invoiced monthly through the Billhighway online payment platform along with the monthly collegiate chapter fees. Members should make payments online through their Billhighway account according to the payment schedule set by their local chapter. Invoicing and payment systems for non-NHC corporations will vary by chapter. Please check with the local house corporation for more information

Members who live in FHC-owned housing (non-university housing) should communicate maintenance needs and requests to their Director of Property. The Director of Property is a member elected by the chapter to handle housing issues and questions. Note: University-owned facilities typically have proprietary systems for reporting maintenance issues. In that case, the Director of Property may still be able to assist your member with maintenance request submissions.

The member will need to work with their Director of Property to contact their assigned FHC Regional Property Manager (RPM). The RPM will provide the member with support animal request paperwork or an accommodation and modification request. Once all that information and documentation has been submitted, the RPM will work with a team to make sure that the member can be accommodated safely and fairly.

FHC Head Chefs are trained to accommodate members with food allergies and restrictions. When members register for meals through the AlphaGamTable app, their Head Chef will be able to see each member and what their dietary needs are, if applicable. Members who need a special accommodation for meals are encouraged to maintain an open dialogue with the Head Chef and communicate questions or concerns about a certain item or the meal program in general.

Yes, all belongings must be removed from the room over the summer months while rooms are deep-cleaned and repaired. The FHC does provide the opportunity for Summer Storage at select chapters, which offers members the opportunity to store their items in the chapter house over the summer.

We strongly encourage our members to reach out to their Director of Property, Property Advisor, Chapter President and/or Chapter Advisor if they have questions regarding the Member Agreement or anything related to the facility. If the local officers and advisors cannot answer questions, they should reach out to the chapter’s FHC Regional Property Manager. Regional Property Managers can be found using the chapter locator.
