Long Beach · California
Greektopia plans formals, bid days, date parties and parents weekends for sorority and fraternity chapters at Long Beach State.
Long Beach gives chapters a waterfront city without Los Angeles prices or Los Angeles traffic. The downtown and marina areas are ten minutes from campus, and the harbour setting gives a formal a look that inland venues cannot match.
Where Chapters Go
about 10 minutes, waterfront hotels and event spaces
roughly 10 minutes, smaller coastal venues
about 30 minutes north outside peak
around 30 minutes south
Distances are approximate and given as a planning guide.
Long Beach prices below the LA market for similar waterfront space, which makes it one of the better value coastal options in southern California. That is increasingly well known, so spring dates go early.
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.
