This may be a significant part of it. We had no RAs, few rules, no curfew. The chapter has a house now, but we had one floor of the dormitory and none of my sisters lived off campus the whole time I was there. We had one housekeeper who did bathrooms and hallways.
Of course, it was the '70s -- the height of "I won't live by someone else's rules". But also, none of my sisters left early due to pregnancy, drugs, or grades.
