What crappy little campus apartment is going to offer you a cook and a maid?

that varies from campus to campus-- at my school, only one sorority (and I dont know about the fraternities) had a cook. We didnt. We had a kitchen and had to cook ourselves. we had a cleaning service come once a week or so. It was more expensive to live in our house than it was off campus. Since my school isnt huge on Greek life, most sisters have lots of GDI friends they want to live with. While the dorms sucked (at least back then, I heard a lot were remodeled) and I wouldnt live there again, I never got to experience off-campus life because I was pulled into the house for my junior year. My pledge class was pulled in first before the older sisters, which was unfair because some of the older sisters avoided living there at all, even though its in our bylaws that you have to live there for one year.
However, once I was there... I chose to stay Senior year. Living in the house DID have its advantages and was a ton of fun. But now I wished I had one year completely off campus where I could have thrown parties and not have to worry about the alcohol policy.
