I know we have threads where we identify if we went to a PWI or an HBCU but refresh my memory when you respond.
DORM LIFE:
1. Did your school(s) have single sex dorms? co-ed? combo?
2. Did you all have a visitation policy? What was it?
3. Did you live in SS or Co-ed dorms? Why (if you had a choice)?
4. Did you sneak folks in and out?
5. Did you have roommates? Do you still keep in touch with them?
Reminisce about dorm life. Funny moments? Outrageous moments?

1. our dorms are co-ed. the dorms i lived in freshman year (the towers a.k.a. soddom and gomorrah) had a girls floor and a boys floor and in the other dorms, your neighbor might be of the opposite sex but not your suite mate.
2. we had 24-hour visitation. in the towers, we had to sign our guests in but not in the other dorms.
3. see q#1
4. there was no need to sneak since we had 24-hour visitation
5. i'm still cool with my roommate from freshman year but we don't really keep in touch since we graduated. we had kinda lost touch when she pledged a.k.a. and i pledged delta. but we're still cool. sophomore year, my roommate was my best friend from high school and we still keep in touch. my roommate from my junior year--nah, we don't keep in touch. then my roommate from my senior year is my line sister (my #4) so we still keep in touch.
my roommate from my junior year was quite an experience. she was a freshman and although her house was 15 minutes away, her parents were unable to let her go. she had to check in with them for EVERYTHING!! one friday she decided to go out with her best friend and spend the night at her house. she asked me to lie to her mother when she called. not wanting to do that, i just didn't answer the phone while i was there. of course it kept ringing so i turned the ringer off when i went to sleep.
i awoke at 7 a.m. the next monday (saturday) by someone bamming on my door. when i went to answer the door, i noticed that there were 14 messages on the answering machine. who was at the door? her father!! he had been all around the campus looking for her. he went to her on-campus job looking for her. he had been checking trash cans for her body. i could tell that he was an emotional wreck and i was pissed because it was 7 in the morning!! i told him i didn't know where she was. he left me his number if i heard from her. i went back to bed.
about 2 hours later, someone is barging through my door. who the hayle is running up in my room? an r.a. and a campus police officer!! he's questioning me like i did something to the girl. i was like "look, i don't know where the hell she is but i don't appreciate ya'll barging in here like ya'll crazy." they leave.
now the phone is ringing off the hook. her mother keeps calling. i left for 5 minutes and she had called 7 times!! then another call comes in and i thought it was my roommate from the voice. i was like "you need to call home because your people keep calling here." well, it was her cousin and when she realized i thought she was my roommate, she played along to get the info. then she tells me that it isn't her, she's on her way to the school to check the library and in the meanwhile, she wants me to call the police. then i had to go ahead and tell them, "don't do all that. i don't know where she is but she went out last night with her best friend." you know that they didn't believe me because "that isn't the type of thing she would do."
when the girl finally got to her parents house, all of her relatives were there praying and burning candles. when she came back to the room, i cursed her out and told her not to ever pull that mess again because her family is nuts!!!!
