What is it?
La Maison Française offers a unique environment for students interested in French language, culture, and the francophone world. Residents can participate in weekly dinners, crepe and fondue evenings, film showings, lectures, conversation tables and other special events sponsored by the French Club and the French Honor Society, Pi Delta Phi.

Residents are expected to take pride in the French House. Students should have a positive attitude toward cross-cultural living and communication, contribute to the academic goals of the house, and maintain the cooperative spirit of the house.
