For Applicants
(New and Old)

What Does a House Director Do?

         A House Director's primary function is to provide a safe, enjoyable, home-like environment for chapter members. Responsibilities may include menu planning and food ordering; budget control; payroll; supervision of household and maintenance staff; working with and reporting to a House Corporation Board; and assistance in planning and hosting social events. The Director should enjoy relating to collegians, alumni, parents, staff and university personnel. Houses are multi-story and require ability to climb stairs frequently.

Who Qualifies?

         Backgrounds in property management, food service, counseling or human services are valuable but not required. Some House Corporations require applicants with previous experience; others do not. Requirements vary regarding experience, training, and educational background. Applicants must be willing to relocate and agree to a background check including a criminal history and motor vehicle record report.

Benefits

         Benefits of a career as a House Director include salary, living accommodations, meals, and often health insurance. Flexibility of this career allows university holidays, summers and some weekends free, and many houses allow their Directors to live in the house year-round. Salaries and terms of contract vary with employers. In some cases a husband/wife team may be considered if a house needs some combination of House Director / Chef / Maintenance person.

Presentation to a House Corporation

         All Greek House Resource applicants are given equal consideration, and based on information provided, matched with the requirements of a particular House. The Applicant's preferences are evaluated, including date available for employment, geographic and campus location(s) and salary requirement. More than one applicant may be presented to a House Corporation for consideration, and an applicant may be presented to more than one House. A formal introduction is prepared and presented to the House Corporation, including an attached resume and written letters of recommendation, if available.

How to Apply

         A completed application may be submitted to Greek House Resource, with a typed resume, written letters of recommendation (if available) and a small registration fee. Applications submitted to Greek House Resource remain active for up to one year.

RESUME SERVICE

Should you need your resume typed or updated, we provide that service for a small fee.

Notes from House Directors

Charlotte, I tell everyone how you stayed in touch with me until I got a house. I will never be able to thank you enough. Hugs Cathy Johnson, Stockton then San Diego CA (once was a Texas girl!)

You are wonderful to work with .... I truly mean this! Above and beyond in my opinion.... You have earned every word I write, it can get very nerve wracking during times such as this and having you and your speedy email replies has been a God-Send. Gratefully and hopefully, Jimmie Hays, VA

Barb and Charlotte are wonderful ....They offered me several campuses to interview with....worked with my expectations and matched me with an organization with the same. I’m excited to move to a Greek oriented campus in an exciting city that’s a car drive away from my family. Had I not gone through Greek House Resources I would have never found this new job. Thanks for all of your hard work and commitment to finding us placement.... Brenda

For House Corporations

        Greek House Resource is a nationwide search firm and placement service designed to assist a House Corporation Board, Advisory Board, Panhellenic or National Office in locating a House Director that meets your unique requirements. Narrowing the search to candidates that most successfully meet the requirements of a specific House, while also being attentive to the applicants' needs, can pave the way for a successful and rewarding placement

Screening:

        Greek House Resource screens applicants through formal application, questionnaire, resume, employment verification, reference checks and telephone interview. A background check obtained on each applicant includes criminal history and motor vehicle report. We maintain confidential feedback from House Corporations we serve, as members may go off Board and be unavailable for contact by potential employers. Our reputation is based on thoroughness, and we have been contacted by houses to screen applications or resumes they receive, along with our own. When this request is made, we contact applicants regarding interest in becoming Greek House Resource applicant(s) and an application, reference list and consent for background check are required.

         Once a contract is established, Greek House Resource will, at your request, introduce by formal letter, candidate(s) whose qualifications most closely match your requirements. This comprehensive letter describes the candidate's work background, qualifications, special skills, referral comments and other information helpful for an interview. Contact information is provided so you may conduct a phone interview and arrange an in-person interview, should you decide to do so.

For a Contract Packet:

         House Corporations may contact Greek House Resource for information regarding fees, terms of contract or to request a Contract Packet. A Contract Packet consists of a cover letter, Needs Assessment form and the Contract.
