My freshman year, I roomed with 2 other women, and each of us was in a different sorority. It got a little confusing, esp. since we'd all been rushing the same sororities, and one of my roommates and I had the same first name (!). By the time the door decs were done, each of my roommates had half of the door, and my decs were on the wall next to our door (I'd pledged a week later via COB, so this was fair). I "inherited" a single midway through freshman year (much to my classmates' envy), and one of the first things I did was transfer my door dec to an actual door!
Ideas for your door:
- Make up a small sign with your name and letters
- Get a message board with your letters/symbols and write your name on it - your roommate gets a plain message board
- Is your roommate rushing? If she joins your sorority, decorate the whole door for both of you... make it so that you can easily remove your name when you move out.
