Ole Miss sorority housing

The DG house only holds 54, I think, and with almost 300 in the chapter there is no way they can all live in.

Freshmen year dorm, then sophomore year dorm or the house, and lots of juniors live in the house because they are usually the officers. Then most seniors live off campus. AOII holds 46, and it is two members per room. I think most of the sororities require you live in the house at some point in your matriculation as a member. They all have different requirements to get in the house too I'm sure. I would also think that even though all of the sororities have more members than spots in the house, that as long as the house stays full they are happy! I think that keeps Corporation Boards (entity that runs the house made up of alumnae volunteers) are happy then everything is good!

One more point to add, it might seem more appealing to live off-campus in college with all of the new condos and full-amenity apartment complexes being built in Oxford. However, I really think it is beneficial to at least live on campus in your sorority house for a year. You really get the "full college experience." Plus, there are benefits to living in the house: parking is better, you can walk to class, you are in "the know" about things going on in your chapter, you probably won’t ever be late to a meal or to chapter meetings, etc. So I just wanted to throw that out there. Plus, I am pretty sure all of the sororities at Ole Miss have renovated their houses in the past 5 years, so it is like living in a well-kept mansion of sorts!
