Our mission is to foster unity and individuality, responsibility and creativity, and growth - both individual and communal - through our family-like lifestyle and unique common interests.

 

Here in the smallest living group on campus, we have a laid back, homey culture and a tight-knit family. On a typical Saturday night, you might find us relaxing or p-setting in the lounge, playing board games or enjoying a Netflix movie. Don’t speak German? That’s totally fine; while we would love it if you do, most of our members don’t. We have a variety of interests here in German House ranging from taekwondo, crafting, baking, dancing, volleyball, Smash Bro’s and ROTC. We all come to eat together, hang out, p-set, and watch the latest episode of Arrow or New Girl, but at the end of the day we can all retire to our glorious air-conditioned singles. Our wonderful cook crew system ensures that everyone eats 6 healthy meals each week, while committing to cook for 2 hours per week. We also host a few special dinners during the year with extra extravagant food, friendly guests, and fancy clothes! In addition to dinners, we organize fun social events such as rock climbing, ice cream runs, annual retreats, and inter-house study breaks.
