So you're looking for housing, huh? Well we're here for you!
A message from the Summer House Manager:
This summer, Delta Tau Delta fraternity is looking for friendly boarders who want to share our beautiful Back Bay brownstone and all that Boston has to offer. Located on Beacon Street, we are within a few blocks of the Esplanade Greenway, Boston Commons, Fenway Park, Kenmore Square, Newbury Street, the subway, and MIT. We have everything you need to have a fantastic summer!
We provide a comfortable home with open communal spaces and fully furnished rooms. Our boarders will have access to a large charcoal grill, 65 inch TV, a fully equipped kitchen, and laundry. The luxurious roof deck, which overlooks the Charles River, will also be open for responsible use. Boston's Fourth of July Fireworks Spectacular are launched from right in front of the house! See this video of 2016's show, recorded from our roof deck (taken with a wide-angle lens, so it looks farther than it actually is)!
Looking forward to meeting you!

FAQ
Is Housing Co-Ed?
Yes! Over the summer, we accept all genders into our house. However, your roommates will all be the same gender unless otherwise requested.
IS THERE AIR CONDITIONING?
Yes! Boston gets pretty hot and humid over the summer, so your price includes Ductless AC for your room and all utilities. However, we ask that you turn it off if nobody will be in your room for a while, so we can conserve power :).
HOW DO I DO LAUNDRY?
We have 2 washers and 2 dryers in the basement. Over the summer, we will also provide Tide Pods and dryer sheets (within reason). If you're here because don't know how to use a washing machine or dryer, watch this...
WHY SHOULD I LIVE AT DELTS INSTEAD OF ANOTHER FRATERNITY?
Good question! First, we've been doing this for a long time, and we are always willing to work with you to improve our housing. Also, our house recently underwent an incredible renovation. One of our boarders from 2018 summed it up pretty well:
You get what you pay for: awesome people, awesome views and a short walk to everything! -Summer 2018 Boarder
WHAT DO I DO FOR FOOD?
Back bay has tons of great restaurants, and there is a Trader Joes and Star Market within walking distance of the house to get groceries. If there is enough interest among boarders we will have a chef cook meals on weekdays.
