Alums - what did you like most and least about living in your chapter house?

Just thinking about this topic has put a smile on my face!

Negatives -
We seemed to run out of food on formal dinner nights.
No air conditioning (added later!)
Room phones were a problem (solved now by removing them since everyone has a cellphone)
Kleptomaniacs

Positives -
Getting ready for big days ( football games, rush, etc ) and all of the excitement up and down the halls, sharing clothes, etc.
The funny incidents and pranks that took place and are now the hilarious stories we tell at our reunions!
Watching tv together in the den (one standout was the famous makeout scene between Luke and Laura from General Hospital circa 1982)

Getting ready for a night out is one of my fondest memories. Every door would be open and music would be blasting down the hallways. We had big full-length mirrors at the end of the hallways, so someone would usually be parked, cross-legged in front of the mirror doing their make-up and/or hair. Girls would be going in and out of rooms, asking for opinions on outfits, talking about where they were going... Those were some fun times!
