Living In the Sorority House
 

\

Haven't housing contracts already been signed?

I vote YES. I go to a small school, and our entire chapter lives in and I LOVE IT. Living in the chapter house is the best!

The power went out one time...and you would not BELIEVE the pranking that went on. It was hilarious!

In the dark ages, our house had a sleeping porch and four women to a room. I was unsure as to how I would like the sleeping porch. As it turned out, I LOVED it. The sleeping porch area was a "quiet zone" and we all respected that. If you had been up late/all night studying, the sleeping porch was always cool and dark, which made taking a nap easy. Also, not having to worry about meals was just wonderful. I also found living in the house much more economical than living out, so I stayed for three years.

Are we twins? My sentiments exactly!!!

We had to live in the house when I was in college, and I LOVED it! I didn't have to clean or cook, and we all got along. You'll have your whole life to clean house, plan and prepare meals, and have a lot of privacy in your living arrangement. You only get one chance to live with your sisters and build these memories.

Frankly, I just don't understand why anyone wouldn't want to live in the house. Every once in a while I have a dream that I'm young and living in the house again...and then I wake up and have to figure out what we're having for dinner!

I loved living in the house. We didn't have a sleeping porch but the fun times are still burned in my memory all these years later.

And I didn't have to clean up my own kitchen or bathroom. Science is right, I've had the rest of my life to do that!

I wouldn't trade my time in the Theta house for any apartment!! It brought me much closer to many of my sisters, far more than I would have been had I lived off campus. Rolling out of bed to a hot breakfast with home made biscuits several times a week was better than being at home! Those were my very favorite years.

This, this, this!!! And this is exactly what I tell my daughter now. I will have her living in the house until she's forced out.

We never had a house while I was an undergraduate but I think it would have been great. I sometimes think that when I retire and sell my house, I might want to be a house mom somewhere :)

Same with me. To this day I wish I could have had that experience and loved visiting chapters where I could stay "in the house". Dee, maybe we should find a campus where you could be an AOII house mom and I could be one for AGD? :D

I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED the time I lived in the house. I wouldn't trade those memories for any thing. SO MUCH FUN! You will not regret it.

I loved my time in the Gamma Phi house! If you want more stories, take a look at this old thread I started a whole back.

I LOVED living in the sorority house. You're constantly at the center of everything.

That being said...make sure you have a place (preferably one that has zero to do with your sorority or Greek life in general) to escape to when you DON'T feel like being at the center of everything.
