Actually, the introversion point is a good one - especially as it relates to living in the house.

I am a huge introvert. I love people, but if I don't get a few hours a day to myself I really suffer. I lived at home and commuted during college. I didn't realize it at the time, but it was the best thing I could have done in terms of being an introvert. When rush sessions were done, I hopped in my car and drove fifteen minutes to my quiet room in my quiet house. When chapter and standards were over, I decompressed on my way home to my quiet room. If I had lived in the sorority house and had roommates to deal with... Wouldn't have been optimal at all.

If I had been in a sorority that required me to live in, I don't think I would have enjoyed it. But because I lived at home I was not required to live in. I hadn't really thought about this before, but a big introvert in a busy sorority house could be a recipe for some serious challenges.
