Since many of you don't understand why someone wouldn't want to live in the house -- I'll try to explain because when I was in college I absolutely did NOT want to live in a house, ever. As an only child, I'm used to having my own space -- lots of my own space. I hated even sharing a dorm room with another person, and the thought of being in a house full of 60 or however many other women just gave me the shivers. I don't know how sorority house meals go where you are, but when I was in school (early 90s) there were not many vegetarian friendly meals served, so I would've had a very hard time eating.

Now I've mellowed in my older age and can see how it would be a wonderful experience, but it was one that I didn't want to have when I was younger.
