The sorority "house" is university-owned, meaning it is a dorm, just like the one I will be living in with my best friends. So, it will be the same amount of money. I already signed a housing contract for the suite, and my friends are counting on me to live there (they've already had 2 people back out on the contract for similar reasons).
The basic truth is, I don't want to live in-house.
In this case, I feel like the rewards of living with my friends for this semester will exceed the rewards of living in-house.
