Title:
West Campus Dorms, 1986
Description:
The dorms of Abele Quad were once adorned with colorful benches and plaques demarcating sections of various Greek organizations, non-Greek selective living groups, and independent houses. Though many of these organizations created a strong sense of community, others perpetuated the exclusivity and negative social behaviors often associated with Greek life. Historically, over two-thirds of the student body chose to participate in selective living. In 2021, Duke announced an end to the hundred-year-old practice of selective living with the unveiling of QuadEx, the new Quad-based residential model.
