Chauncey Cooperative was founded in 1937 and is the longest running men's cooperative at Purdue. This long span of time has allowed Chauncey to firmly establish itself within the community and develop a rich heritage that focuses on academics, brotherhood, and cooperation. The house was built in the 1890s and has a capacity of twenty-two men. There are seven rooms in the house, which results in between two and four men per room. House duties, like cleaning and cooking, are distributed between the members of the house. This combined with our non for profit status results in a very economical and practical living arrangement compared to dorm or fraternity living.
