Parent Approval

[littleowl33]

In terms of Standards suggesting you resign - is there any way (if all else fails and you absolutely cannot live in the house because of your parents) that you can still remain a member without living in? I find it hard to believe that Standards would rather lose you as a sister than have you be a commuter student. I'm not doubting your story, I'm just saying that if it comes down to it you should have a more in-depth conversation with standards and a chapter adviser - namely, it's commuting or deactivating.

You can even come at it from a financial perspective - that you can't afford not to live at home in light of the economic situation. I've served on the Standards board for my chapter and we tend to be very understanding about that kind of stuff.

Yeah, most housing policies I've seen (for different NPC groups) say that if the member lives with her parents in the same town as the college, she's exempt. You want to make sure the housing corp isn't doing something that is superceding what your sorority's basic rules are.
