Didn't it freak you out when you first stayed there? and what is this about guest rooms? Wow, I really am not a 'real' greek....

We're pretty open but I'm pretty sure it's a national Pi Phi policy not to have men spending the night. We have guys that are over quite a lot but they don't spend the night and aren't in the house after midnight. On the weekends I just about live at my boyfriend's fraternity but this is because of the guest rules in my house! We go to his house to sleep. It's not a hard concept!
I personally have documented medical reasons why I cannot sleep in the cold dorm and therefore I sleep in my room. I did stay up there once as a pledge when I was visiting a sister late at night and didn't want to walk home. It wasn't scary and if I didn't have extenuating circumstances I'm sure I'd love sleeping up there. It's a respect issue...I'm sure you wouldn't want a random guy in the cold dorm so you don't do it to your sisters. It's also nice because you don't have to worry about the horror story of someone hooking up in the bed below you!
At my house we don't have a guest room. There are sororities on my campus that have guest rooms so that their alums can come visit. At my boyfriend's fraternity is where I've stayed in a guest room. It's common practice at Wabash College (an all male college) to have guest rooms in the fraternities. The guest rooms usually have a king sized bed and full bathroom with shower for the female guests on the weekends. I really like the guest room at my boyfriend's fraternity. It has a big bed (so comfy!), a big desk, dresser, closet, really nice shower and private bathroom. It's nice for privacy and if you have a big group of girls coming up it's a nice place to stay.
You're still greek even if you don't do the cold dorm.
It's a matter of preference and there are houses here who don't have a cold dorm. It's just one more thing to learn about!
