Question!

Hey ladies! I really would like to get some other Phi Sigs advice about a problem that I'm having. This fall I was going to room with one of my best friends at school. Now it looks like I'm going to have to move into the sorority house because there are some spots in the house that need to be filled. Now don't get me wrong, I would LOVE to live in the sorority house with my sisters, and I know it would be a lot of fun and a great experience. However, I'm not sure how I can break this news to my friend. I know she'll be hurt (I mean, I know I would be too). Still I did tell her that it was a possibility that it could happen. If anyone has ANY advice I would really appreciate it!!
LITP,
Megan

wow. this is a tough one. my advice is to talk to her soon. i am infamous for leaving things like that until the last minute, and i only end up in deeper s@*t because of it. sit down and discuss things with her...especially making it clear that no matter what you will still be friends, etc. just because you aren't living together doesnt mean you cant be friends and hang out. she is going to be hurt, no doubt, but if you talk to her now then things wont have to get ugly later! good luck!

Well I talked to my friend this morning, and it looks like everything is going to work out! I mean she was disappointed, but we talked things out. However we both agreed that no matter where we were living, we were still gonna be friends. I feel so relieved, I was really worried that this could really damage our friendship. But after our talk this afternoon,I feel much better. Now, I don't feel bad about being excited to move into the house!! Anyways, thanks Meghan for your advice!

Hey there! I just wanna say that i'm so excited to be moving in with my best friend. Miss PhiSigQT herself!! I can't wait girl! Its gonna be an awesome year. Much studying but much partying as well. We have reps to live up to(if ya know what I mean!) PhiSigMeg I'm glad things worked out with you and your best friend. I know with me alot of my friends don't understand the whole sorority deal. They think I am ate up with it because at school those are really the only girls I hang out with. You are very lucky to have a friend like that. Remember that and hold her close!!

XOXO,
Colleen

I'm glad everything worked out with you and your friend

I know where you're living can sometimes cause much drama between friends. My grandfather owns the building I live in and remodeled my apartment jsut before I moved in. On campus housing is VERY VERY hard to come by at my school, so my friend who transfered here from Arizona really wanted to live with me in rent-free apartment when she made the move here to Cali, unfortunately I had already asked another friend.. to move in. ( I knew I couldn't live with my friend who was transfering because we had one of those love/hate type friendships) and the friend I asked to live with me is liek my closest friend and we have similar living habits.. we're clean and don't drink too much and are very laid back. NE WAY.. some how transferring friend thinks we're going to be living together, and FLIPS out when I have to explain that she's not invited to live here... like flipped out so bad.. she denounced me as a friend. I was like umm.. you really have no right to be mad at me because I never made you any promises. NE way... Just a little story. Your friend is MUCH more understanding and I'm glad it worked out better for you than it did for me. =)
