The sorority chapters on my campus don't have houses, but we have suites in the all-girls dorm on campus. No one lives in them, they just serve as a meeting place and we can go in there to hang out together if we ever want to. I personally think that it's better that we don't have houses - houses are SO expensive to keep up, dues would be ridiculous. And I know personally if I lived with that many other girls, I'd go crazy. I love my sisters, but we all know how girls are. I just live with one and sometimes things get out of control with emotions. I can't imagine what it would be like with 30 or more girls in a house! The fraternities on campus have houses but their dues aren't as bad as what I've seen at some bigger schools like U of A where I have friends in chapters. I know that my ex-boyfriend paid like, 250 or 300 a month for a single bedroom with a shared bathroom and that included his fraternity dues and all utilities, so it wouldn't be that bad. Sharing a room with someone would be even cheaper once split up. But I'm really glad we don't have sorority houses. As far as I know, only one sorority on my campus even has enough money to build a house because of an alumni who left all of her money to the chapter in her will. I'm sure maybe one day we'll get houses once greek life gets bigger here, but for now I like our suites and letting the guys deal with crazy house life!
