Nabor House is a 35-member independent cooperative agricultural fraternity at the University of Illinois featuring core values of education, cooperation, recreation, and Christian fellowship. Nabor House provides benefits of brotherhood enjoyed by Greek fraternities while maintaining a cost of living that is one of lowest on campus.  Members pay just $675 per month that covers utilities, internet, cable, parking, and 17 meals per week.  Members also share the work of maintaining the house and preparing meals to keep costs to a minimum while learning valuable life skills in the process.  Members graduate with connections and friendships that extend well beyond their college years.

Located on Lincoln Avenue in Urbana, Nabor House has the shortest walk to the Agricultural, Consumer, and Environmental Sciences (ACES) campus of any fraternity. Every Nabor shares some background or interest in agriculture, ranging from active work on the family farm to just a general agricultural interest or study. Nabors value their education and have posted a cumulative GPA above 3.0 for 38 consecutive semesters and host weekly bible studies.

Nabor House is actively recruiting upcoming high school graduates, current university students, and junior college transfer students.  Contact us today!

Burn the Mortgage!
Thanks to the generous donations of more than 220 alumni, the new Nabor House facility is now mortgage free in 2024! For a small fraternity with fewer than 600 living alumni, that's truly a remarkable feat. Thank you to all of our members and friends for their cooperative efforts to reach this goal in under 12 years. This achievement ensures that Nabor House remains the lowest-cost housing option at the University of Illinois.

Fundraising efforts are still ongoing for remaining naming rights opportunities of several rooms, and also for the growing list of scholarships offered through the Nabor House Educational Foundation.
