The Living Groups Index documents off-campus housing for Oregon State University students from the 1910s through 1970s. The Index consists of individual cards for fraternities, sororities, cooperatives, and other housing clubs. The cards include dates of establishment or charter and, if applicable, the year a local fraternity or sorority affiliated with a national organization. Each card also provides street addresses for the living group through time.

The Index also includes cards for individual street addresses, arranged in two groups -- one for numbered streets and the other for named streets. These cards indicate which fraternity, sorority or other living group was located at that address and for what time period.
