Stanford Housing Seems So Obscure!

<p>Can someone who is knowledgeable about the housing at Stanford please explain the housing from freshman to senior year? </p>

<p>I hear there are like several types of dorms such as a frosh-soph, 4 year, only frosh, theme house, fraternities, sororities</p>

<p>It seems unstructured in a way.....Can someone explain how the fraternities and sororities work in conjuction with the housing? When can you join one and is it the same method as bickering as in Princeton's eating clubs? Who can join one?</p>

<p>thanks for the heads up</p>
