Even for larger schools, I don't think houses are a HUGE issue. I've met a couple of girls who have gone to other schools because the sororities had houses, but not many. Even though chapter total at Auburn is around 160/170, I like not having a house. We have a dorm with a designated floor for our housing, half of the first floor is "ours" for overflow, and a chapter room in the basement of the dorm. Even though we share the dorm with Tri-Delta, it's not a big deal. It's like all the perks of a house (living/meeting place, etc.) with cheaper housing fees (janitorial would clean whether we wanted them or not b/c it's University housing, etc.) and much lower dues. My $315 a semester includes chapter/national dues and "rent" on the chapter room and dorm space. IMO, it beats thousands of dollars per semester.
