I've got to cheer on the Bluecoats for two reasons!
a) my boyfriend was one!
and
b) they're the hometown DCI group!

I'm with RedRose I need a cozy, warm room to sleep. But to each their own I guess.
I wonder at schools where some have them and some don't, do the ones who do get cut by a lot of girls because of them ever.

It doesn't seem to be a problem at IU.
ETA: Previous thread about cold dorms.

Yea for an IU thread! Can't wait to hear all the news.
Both of my parents lived in fraternity/sorority houses with cold dorms and ran our home sort of like one. I was in college before I found out that you didn't HAVE to turn the heat down to 50 degrees when you went to bed. It's addictive!

While my chapter didn't have cold airs, many of the chapters at Iowa State did and the girls (and guys) would say, once you got used to sleeping in cold airs, it was difficult to get used to sleeping in a regular room again.
I'm sure some people would use that as a deciding factor for or against a chapter, it didn't seem to affect chapters overall during recruitment, so I'm guessing it's the same for IU.

Yippeee.....I am excited about an IU recruitment thread. I am a grad student at IU (I didn't go to IU as an undergrad.), so this should be interesting. I can't wait to hear what happens. There are 19 awesome groups to choose from at IU! Each organization has their specific strengths. I know that it is sometimes hard to do, but I hope your cousin keeps an open mind and finds a home where she can make a positive contribution to the Greek Community and IU.
Best Wishes!

OMG! Drum Corps!!! And people know what they are?!?!? How exciting! 
OK, well, since I'm a Spirit alumna (back when it was Spirit of Atlanta) I'll put my money on them!!! It's a Corps with heart and drive, so it must also be a great sorority too!!
Cavies not her fave? Yes, incredibly ironic ....oh oh...sidenote (sorry I'm really straying here) whomever mentioned Bayonne....my Mom and Daddy both marched against them in the 70's! I know exactly who you are talking about!!!
Yep, I love this thread already!!!

OMG, you are making me all nostalgic with the DCI names. Bringing back some SERIOUS memories. (I was in the colorguard)  I loved watching DCI
This is the most creative naming of sororities yet

I loved cold airs. I admit that when I first heard about them, I thought the idea was a bit weird, but once you try it, you learn to love it pretty quickly.
My chapter had our Cold Air on our third floor, with bunked beds that doubled back. The room slept about 50-54 people. When I was an active member, it wasn't air-conditioned, which while it sounds awful, was only bad during August, sometimes early September and maybe May. Nowadays, the room is air-conditioned during those months. The windows are left open year-round - though when it snowed and rained we always closed them almost all the way.
Electric blankets were a wonderful thing to have.

I like the idea... I know that it would have saved some big headaches for me and my roommates in college. I love sleeping in the cold... cuddling under lots of blankets. Only thing is that I don't want to get out in the morning.... I guess that is why I love my ceiling fan in the winter.... hubby not so much.
RRC good luck with finals and the next few months of waiting...
Could someone explain about the DCI?
Thanks...

Good luck to your cousin!
There is no way I'd ever be able to handle a sleeping porch...I guess having my own room my whole life, I find it hard enough to share with one other girl, forget about more!

I know at Illinois there was at least one house that had both a warm dorm and a cold dorm - I can't remember which sorority or sororities (our house had neither - trundle beds baby!!) Maybe zillini,AOIIgal,deltabetababy, or UofISigKap would know? Help me out here fellow Illini!
