living in the house can be a real bonding experience. you don't have to make an effort to go over to the house-you are there.
everything that happens in the house-good and bad- you will be able to experience. sometimes the people living out feel a little "out of the loop". well, you'll be in the loop. and you might feel the sisterhood more strongly living in.

but in another vein, i have a cousin who is a member of a sorority-her daughter went thru formal recruitment and updated her mom on a daily basis. all the top sororities on her campus were in the running to pledge her, but at the end she chose her mom's sorority. i know for a fact that my cousin did not pressure her daughter to join her chapter-it was the daughters decision alone.
they were the top group on campus. now whether daughter joined to please her mom or because they were the top chapter, i don't know, but from the get-go she was not happy. she did stick it out and has since graduated. did she learn to love it? unfortunately no. i think if she chooses to join an alumnae chapter she might learn to love it. does this story have a moral?not really. i shared it just because sometimes people do make mistakes. but that is part of life. i hope that your story works out differently that my cousins daughters did. best wishes.
