I think it falls under the "the system's been abused and now we have to buy insurance so you're all following the strict rules even if you
are mature enough to behave" thing.
I lived on our sorority's floor for one year (which was about average for us). I had fun, but the fact that they were single rooms and I tended not to go out on the weekends meant that living in the on and off campus apartments later was better for me. Most of us got apartments with our sisters and until res-life changed the rules we had been able to pass the on-campus apartments down year by year.
Our floor was actually split between three chapters. The fraternities who wanted the spots were on alternate floors and we had one co-ed floor. I will say, living with the guys in the building led to WAY too many fire alarm pulls and several incidents of penis-on-wall-with-sharpie.
Overall though, definitely worthwhile for all of us.
