I lived in my sorority house for two years and it's a huge house that sleeps over 100 girls (most of the houses here sleep anywhere from like 60-100 or so girls). I lived in the house for three semesters and the annex for one. Our house had just been remodeled my first year living there, but I somehow wound up on the 4th floor in a room that has now become our COSTUME closet (to give you an idea of the size). My best friend and I at the time, thought it'd be fun to live up in the attic, we just didn't realize how TINY our room really was. Luckily she moved out before the semester was over so I got the place to myself. The only good parts about the room though were the bathroom (I had my own) and the view into Farmhouse.
I have positive and negative things I could say about living in the house, sharing a room with 4 girls one semester was hard, and moving every single semester sucked. The food could be completely awful sometimes, we had a heinous beeyatch of a housemom one year, and there were a lot of rules that I felt were stupid but had to follow anyway. But there were good things too like always having someone to watch a movie with, go out with, borrow clothes from, or just gossip with. I live by myself now and though I'm happy I do, it does get kind of lonely sometimes. Plus, it's totally true what everyone says about people living in the house feeling more connected/involved. I lived there my sophomore and junior years, which were the two years I was most involved in positions and activities within my chapter.
There is absolutely no part of me that regrets living there for those two years, it might have been difficult, but it was an experience that I always dreamed of having when I went to college and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
