Greek house

Greek houses are only available in The Sims 2, with the University expansion pack. Sims can turn any on-campus residential lot into a Greek House by using the telephone and selecting "apply for charter." It costs 20 simoleons to start a Greek House, and a House will keep its charter as long as at least one member is living in it. Dorms and community lots cannot be Greek Houses.

While the premade Greek Houses are set up as single-sex fraternities and sororities, Greek Houses do not have to be single-sex.

Advantages of Greek Life

 * Sims can visit campus autonomously, bringing back pizza and, at rank six, inexpensive objects. These include TV sets, coffee tables, desks, sofas, armchairs, game consoles, bonsai plants and toy cars. The Greek House is not charged for these items.
 * While a Sim cannot be told to visit campus, players can stop a Sim from visiting campus by canceling the action while he or she is still on the lot. The "Visit Campus" action appears at random, and may appear at any time, so a player may decide that it's not a good time for a Sim to visit campus.
 * Sims can throw toga parties- they wear a special toga outfit.
 * Sims can use "Sleep On Floor" interaction. Unlike passing out, sleeping on the floor will not decrease a Sim's comfort.

Greek House Levels
As the residents of a Greek House gain more friends, the House goes up in rank. There are six ranks. Rank can be checked by clicking on the Greek letters of the house. Each increase in rank increases the number of members that the Greek House can have. (Regardless of rank, a Greek House cannot have more than eight residents at a time, but members do not need to live in the House.)

Joining
Becoming a member of a Greek House can be done in three ways.

By Phone
A Sim can use the "join Greek House" option using the phone. If this is done members of the house will come to meet that Sim. A scenario begins, and the Sim has a few hours to gain enough relationship points with the members to join.

Asking
If the playable Sim and the Greek House member have a high enough relationship, asking to join the Greek House will have a positive outcome or start the Greek House scenario.

Pledging
When the Greek House is the active household, members can ask other Sims to pledge the Greek House. Pledges can be influenced to do anything without using influence points. After spending a certain amount of time on the lot, the pledges become full members. Greek House members can then ask these Sims to move into the Greek House.
