Membership Process
Our membership process consists of a written questionnaire, attending three house dinners or online meetings, and an interview.
In Our Words
Hypatia is a twelve-bedroom cooperative house located in a beautiful old mansion surrounded by a historic garden three blocks north of the Wisconsin State Capitol. Our house includes a spacious living and dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows that face the capitol and a working fireplace, well-appointed kitchen, fully stocked pantry (fresh produce, staples, spices, etc.), small guest room, laundry machines, bike parking in the basement, and storage space in the attic.
Our community is made up of graduate students, undergraduate students, professionals, and kids, including people of many races, genders, ages, and backgrounds. We have a house meeting every other Sunday evening to check in with housemates and make collective decisions, 3-4 house dinners per week, and occasional house events like movie nights or hikes. Our house labor system asks each member to contribute 4.5-5 hours per week (cleaning, cooking, yardwork, administrative tasks, etc.) plus 1 hour per month toward maintenance projects.
