If you don't want to do it why join a sorority? The thing that has amazed me is the number of parents that pay for their daughter to live in the house and then rent an apartment for them. As a Mother why wouldn't you want your daughter to live in the house with a House Mother (no curfew) that allows no alcohol, smoking or boys in the rooms. I know some parents say they can't study, but there are quiet hours and study rooms better than the dorms.

Oh, I liked living in the house...I did it for three years! I just came from a campus where 30-40 girls living in-house was the norm, and I was surprised to see "only 66"! I was thinking about the days when all thirty-something of us were hormonal and stressed out and then tried to multiply that by 2! But I also remember the nights we used to run out and 'borrow' fraternity composites, and we could have come up with some much more elaborate missions had we had double the numbers in-house...
