AT AMU, STUDENTS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ENTER
HOUSEHOLDS
Why Join a Household?
Households are a core element of the Ave Maria community. Other universities have sororities and fraternities. At AMU, we have households!
Households provide supportive communities for students to deepen their faith through prayer, service, events, and intentional friendships. These single-sex groups come together, inspired by God's Holy Spirit, for weekly commitments to prayer, growing in specific virtues, and emulating patron saints. Members of a household share meals, attend Mass, and participate in various social and community activities together.
Joining a household makes life at AMU even richer! The households at Ave Maria University provide our students with support, accountability, and community throughout their college years. The men and women within their respective households call each other higher while enjoying wholesome fun and investing in the wider AMU community.
The bonds formed in these communities are often as tight as the holiest Catholic families—students find lifelong friendships in their household brothers and sisters.
