We have a house, and I will be living in it next year!
We have a living requirement, but since our house holds 20 people and we have around 90 people in the chapter, some members never get a chance to live in the house.
Here's where I've lived:
Freshman year: In the freshmen dorms (like everyone else)
Sophomore year: In the Pi Phi house
Junior year: In the freshmen dorms as a dorm counselor
Senior year: In the Pi Phi house.
I'm excited about it. Living in the house is 100% better than the freshmen dorms, it's much nicer, the food is better, etc. Plus, as President, I'm getting a double as a single this year so I have two closets, two dressers, etc. That should be fun. The main drag is that I'm living off campus this summer, and there will be more restrictions in the house. Most of the people in our house aren't 21 (most people live in sophomore year), and now that I'm 21, it will kinda be a drag in a way. I'm not a huge drinker, but I like having a bottle of wine around, you know? I guess I'll just stash at my boyfriend's apartment!
But overall I'm really excited about living in. My little little (who was one of my residents this year) is living here and we're supertight so that should be fun. Plus it'll be much easier being President and being immediately accessible in the house.
