On my campus the sororities have suites and the fraternities have houses. People used to say the sororities didn't have houses due to "brothel laws" which we know are fake! IIRC, all the sororities agreed that if everyone couldn't afford a house then no one would have one.

While I wish I could have lived in the house I am glad it is fair for everyone. The suites are in two dorms (one dorm happens to be an all women's dorm) and they are right next to each other. In Woodworth we have 6 and in Dehority we have 3 suites. They are at the ends of the hall with one sorority to a floor in Woodworth.... The only party I hate is walking up FOUR flights of stairs to my suite!!!

The rooms are fairly good sized and we have use of the student center or business building for chapter meetings (80 girls in one suite wearing formal clothes and all of that other stuff DOES tend to make the room a little cramped!) and the school lets us use the student center for pref rounds. Its nice for PNM's to be able to just walk around one building and stay inside (instead of dealing with the heat or potential rain of early September!)

I have been able to live in the dorms and meet people from all other chapters. I lived with a girl in AOPi this past semester and this year I am actually living with 4 chi omegas. Of course I am looking forward to getting a house next year with my sisters... but it has been nice to live with my friends from other chapters. I think that has actually HELPED us to meet girls in other chapters.
