Our chapter house slept 67, in a mix of singles and doubles, with one triple. For the most part, sophomores got doubles, and juniors got singles or a double if they didn't have a lot of points. I think it was fun to room with someone, but it was also nice to be in the president's suite :-)
We had an open air dorm that nobody slept in regularly, but it was often used for visitors or live-outs. During work week prior to recruitment, a lot of seniors stayed there if their apartments weren't available yet.

4 mans (or quads) at my school are most desirable... how odd! (they're also huge though, no bunks or anything)

I'm transferring schools next semester and will go from sharing a dorm floor to actually having a sorority house. I wanna check out the rooms since all of this talk of porches etc. has made me curious. Do you think it would be rude if I asked to come see the house? It's summer though...maybe no one is there. Hmm. What do you think?

Have you gone through the affiliation process with the new chapter? If not, I wouldn't assume that they will extend active membership to you, or that you will live in the house.

Definitely what irishpipes said. If the answer is yes, then many times people will live in over the summer while they take summer classes. Or at least they do out here. It may not be as nice however. I know that over the summer girls had to do all the cleaning and fewer lived in.

Lol of course. That would be way too presumptuous had I not.

A lot of the fraternity houses are open in the summer, they still have guys living in them sometimes. Most of the sorority houses close for the summer. If you want to see one, I would contact someone with the chapter and see if a sister or alumna can take you on a tour. :-)

Contact the chapter president. Even if they are closed for the summer, there may be times when it's open. My house had "summer chapter" where whoever could come, usually along with parents, would come paint, do light maintenance, maybe deliver and install new beds which seemed to be a never ending process in an old house with 60 beds. If they do anything like this you DEFINITELY want to participate. It will be a great bonding moment ahead of moving in and starting in on work week.

I had a single when I lived in, but it was the size of a closet. Actually, my closet was bigger (not kidding, we called it "the annex"), but didn't have an outside window, so the smaller room was where I had to sleep and the larger room was where all my stuff went besides my bed and tiny little TV. I never understood why they didn't knock out the wall between the two rooms and wall up the inside window in the one.
Anyway, only 8 women lived-in for us, and there were 4 singles and two doubles. I took a really full course load the year I was in the house, so I appreciated having my own space, even if it was a little wonky.
