When I was an active, we shared a dorm with KKG, while the 3 other sororities on campus were on greek row with the 5 fraternities. The dorm was actually pretty nice -- it was split in half with different entrances, and we had a chapter room and a kitchen/TV room. This year, after being the oldest sorority on our campus and being without a house for 53 years, the chapter finally got their own house on greek row! I have to say, it is really, really amazing to have the actives in a house -- they are SOOOO excited. It has a gorgeous vaulted ceiling formal living room with huge windows, a library, a TV room, chapter room, and full kitchen/dining room. It houses 38, which is the biggest of all the houses, most are 33-35. Freshman have to live in the dorms, and most of the seniors live off campus. It was amazing to have formal rush in a house of our own -- gave me goosebumps!
As far as the Univ of Washington houses go, the Chi Omega house is really amazing, and beautiful inside as well. I have been in Pi Phi and Gamma Phi at UW too and they are gorgeous inside as well. Most of the UW sororities house around 100+ -- some hold more around 50-60 and then have an "annex" for the rest of the members, like Roxychlr was referring too -- it is a smaller building that is attached to the main house or behind it (in the case of Gamma Phi). The thing that is really neat about the Univ of Washington houses is that they are together within about an eight square block radius, not spread out like some greek systems. Most of the houses are these huge beautiful brick buildings. Worth checking out if you are ever in Seattle!
