Big Sisters and Brothers- Do you stay in a sorority/fraternity house with the rest of your sisters/brothers? And do you stay in the house the whole year, even in the summer? How many ppl live in the house with you?
Just wondering- Lil sister

Hi Forito Baroulko,
I'm gonna move into my sorority house this fall. You can only live in the house during the regular school year, so during breaks and summer my house is closed.
This is my chapter's situation: 60 girls live in the house (sometimes fewer if a girl buys out two spots, like my big is doing), there are 15 rooms that have a common area with two bedrooms (each bedroom is for 2 girls) and a bathroom. Our house director (house mom) has her own apartment-like space downstairs (it's really cute, a true old lady's house...it's like you've stepped through a time portal). There's an exec bedroom that houses 4 girls downstairs (it's built to be handicap accessible, should we ever have a handicapped sister, so it's bigger than the other rooms and the president and three others get to have it), and the other 14 are upstairs.
You're required to live in the house if you are on the Exec board. There is a housing requirement that every room must be occupied. There's actually a little competition for who gets to live in the house because usually sophomores want to live in the house and the execs are already guaranteed spots. All members have to fill out applications, but usually only sophomores and juniors want to get in. Whether you get in or not is based on a points system, like how many sorority-related activities you've participated in, how many philanthropies you've done, how many extracurriculars, etc.
I'm really looking forward to moving in! If you have more housing questions, feel free to ask.
