City of East Lansing Moves to Protect Historic Greek Homes

The City of East Lansing recently created a Fraternity-Sorority Historic District to protect six historic Greek houses from architectural changes.

“We looked at the buildings that would be worthy of preservation and protection,” Peters said. “Since they’re scattered around the city, we’d be linking them together by theme.”

Seven other fraternity and sorority buildings, which were included in original plans for the district, were left out because council members deemed the buildings were too new or disrupted projects such as the city’s East Village development.
