On any given evening,  Gregorians will be chatting, eating, studying and playing board games along a hall of comfortable chairs, looking out at festive Spruce Street through floor-to-ceiling windows, or shooting billiards in the club room as their neighbors bake desserts in the adjoining kitchen.  Our social fabric is second to none!

Gregory begins each year with a BBQ and volleyball on “the beach,” the field between Van Pelt and the Class of 1925.  The BBQ is run by both RAs/GAs and the Manager staff, and is open to freshman through senior residents, as Gregory is truly an all-year College House.

Gregory's Film Culture Program, dedicated to movie-lovers of all sorts, was founded in 2003 and in 2016 received a splendid new Cinema Lounge to showcase its non-stop schedule of screenings and discussions.  The program averages about 150 screenings a year, generally at least five a week, ranging from art house classics to big-budget epics to indie gems, all followed by optional discussion from our staff.

Gregory consistently earns one of the highest rates of student satisfaction among Penn’s College Houses; we also rank very high for return rates for students. We have long hosted Penn's residential language programs, which are some of the most successful academic programs at the University.  The House sponsors a number of social activities from weekly brunches to Bring Your Own Mug night to karaoke.
