Tempe · Arizona
Greektopia plans formals, bid days, date parties and parents weekends for sorority and fraternity chapters at ASU.
Tempe chapters have an unusual advantage: some of the country's best resort venues are twenty minutes up the road in Scottsdale, and Las Vegas is a short flight or a morning's drive. That combination means an ASU formal can be anything from a rooftop night on Mill Avenue to a full destination weekend.
Where Chapters Go
about 20 minutes, and the densest cluster of resort ballrooms in the state
about 15 minutes, for hotel and event-space formals
about two hours north when a chapter wants red rock instead of a ballroom
roughly a five hour drive or a one hour flight, the classic destination formal weekend
Distances are approximate and given as a planning guide.
Tempe's calendar is shaped by heat. Spring formals get booked early because everyone wants the same March and April dates before summer arrives, and outdoor venues stop being pleasant well before finals.
For most chapters we recommend booking a formal four to six months out, and earlier for a peak spring Saturday. Bid day and date parties need four to six weeks. Our guide to how far in advance to book explains what drives those numbers.
What We Plan

Themed reveals that welcome your new class in style.
Smaller, faster to plan, and just as memorable.
The weekend families judge your chapter on.
Destination formal weekends, primarily for fraternity chapters.
Contracts, deadlines, budget and messages in one place your whole exec board can see.
Four to six months out. Scottsdale resort dates for March and April are the most contested in the state and they go first.
About a five hour drive, or roughly an hour by air. That proximity is why destination formal weekends are common for Tempe fraternity chapters.
Yes, with the calendar in mind. Outdoor venues are comfortable through spring and again in late autumn, and we plan around the months in between.
