Dallas · Texas
Greektopia plans formals, bid days, date parties and parents weekends for sorority and fraternity chapters at SMU.
SMU chapters plan inside the Dallas market, which is one of the largest in the south and priced accordingly. There is real range here, from downtown hotel ballrooms to design district spaces, and the practical question is usually budget rather than availability.
Where Chapters Go
about 15 minutes, hotel ballrooms and event spaces
roughly 15 to 20 minutes, modern and industrial venues
minutes from campus
about 45 minutes west for a different feel
Distances are approximate and given as a planning guide.
Dallas has enough capacity that availability is rarely the binding constraint. Price is. The same room can vary substantially between a peak spring Saturday and a Friday a few weeks either side.
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.
