I think what carnation means is that no matter how much Gorgeous House GHI says Unhoused UVW is awesome girls with great involvement and GPAs and all looking like Scarlett Johanssen, and probably honestly mean it, if GHI dropped off the face of the earth tomorrow and all its members could join elsewhere, they'd rather go to their bitterest rival than the unhoused chapter full of girls they were saying were awesome 2.5 seconds ago.

Tangent, and sorry if we talked about this before, but why doesn't Auburn have houses? Is there just not room?

33, that's exactly what I meant!

When I was at Auburn, each sorority had one or more floors of a dorm with a chapter room and kitchen at the end of the hall. Now they have individual --townhouses??, I don't know what they're calling them--in a Greek area. West Georgia and Birmingham Southern also have this setup. People used to throw around various reasons as to why the sororities didn't have houses but no one really seemed to care much. We were right in the middle of campus, we had everything we needed, and our dues were much lower than on the housed campuses.

Auburn has dorms with the chapter room on the bottom floor. Most of the old dorms were that way too. Ours was. Birmingham Southern does actually have townhouses, with one group to a townhouse. At Auburn, several groups could be in a dorm. I think it's 4 but may be mistaken.

ETA: Oh never mind, I see what you're talking about at Auburn! I was including the coed dorms in that.

I love the big sorority houses but boy, it costs to live in them. One of our daughters was an active at a school where the houses were new but each one housed 16, usually officers. Those were affordable! Another one was at a school where the actives lived on floors like at Auburn plus there was a Panhellenic House where you could live that had members from all the sororities!
