Not the college or sorority experience I would want, but it's hard to convince parents otherwise.

Wow. Foreign concept. I've heard of parents here RENTING condos/houses for kids to live in with a couple of friends, but not buying.
The big housing issue here (in terms of sorority women being reluctant to live-in) = having a house/condo/apt with all my friends where we can DRINK > sorority house.
