For me, I always had bad/weird roommate experiences in college, so in my junior year when I had the option to live on my own (still on campus), I did. I like having my own space. If my chapter had a house, I don't know that living in would really appeal to me. But everyone is different.
A few things I'd suggest doing:
1) Think about your own habits. Will they interfere with the girls in the house? For example, I'm a night owl, so I always felt bad about watching tv/being on my computer late at night and possibly keeping my roommate/suite-mates up.
2) What would you be gaining? What are the benefits? Are there things that you feel you'd truly be missing out on if you never lived in?
3) Consider the fact that you're a senior. If you're living in, crazy antics and dance parties - as psusue mentioned - might not appeal to you anymore. Or maybe you're looking to live it up in your last 2 semesters? Think about what you're looking for from your last year of school.
ETA: Another suggestion - request that you be able to stay in the house for a week this semester. Pack a bag and bring an air mattress. Either that, or maybe you could even get one of the sisters to trade places with you and you could stay in their room while they stayed at your place. Live in the house from Friday night to Sunday of the following weekend. It might give you a better idea of what to expect and help you to make a well-informed decision.
