Each sorority has a floor in a dorm; some are the only sorority in their dorm (usually 3-story dorms) and some, like Pi Phi and Alpha Chi, each have a floor in a 6-story dorm. We all have chapter rooms in the dorm basements. Sometimes PNMs live in the dorms that house Greeks, not on the Greek floors of course, but several years ago they lived in majority-freshmen dorms. Maybe Auburn still has those.

Huh that's kinda cool. Thanks for the info. I refused to live in-house but that was mostly due to medical issues. If you saw how many stairs we had in our house and you had a bad knee, you'd opt out too! Hardwood stairs are scary as hell in heels, let alone barefoot.

BTW-I KNEW ALABAMA HAD A BROTHEL LAW! and there's an Auburn pin on the moon.

my little sis is going through rush at auburn this fall and she is moving into her dorm on saturday. freshmen already have dorm assignments, so they will just move into the dorm room they are assigned to.

That describes Bid Day for us!
