Los Angeles · California
Greektopia plans formals, bid days, date parties and parents weekends for sorority and fraternity chapters at LMU.
LMU sits on the bluff above Playa del Rey, which puts Marina del Rey ten minutes away and Santa Monica fifteen. That is unusually close for Los Angeles, and it means a chapter here can hold a water-side formal without the cross-city coach trip most LA chapters accept.
Where Chapters Go
about 10 minutes, waterfront venues
roughly 15 minutes
about 30 minutes off-peak
around 20 minutes south
Distances are approximate and given as a planning guide.
Being on the west side means shorter trips than most LA chapters manage, which simplifies the evening considerably. It also means the nearby waterfront venues are in demand from every other chapter that knows this.
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.
