25 Realities About Living In A Sorority House

With almost a semester under my belt, I’ve realized that living in a sorority house is nothing like I imagined. The movies have got it all wrong. I can’t remember a time, besides the night before Big-Little reveal, that I saw a group of my sisters crafting together. I see more people in sweatpants than boat shoes and sometimes I swear we’d be better off living in a fraternity house. It’s a great time though. You get to live with all 60 of your best friends. Okay, maybe they’re not all your best friends, but you’ve gotten to know and love these sixty sisters in one way or another. There are far more crazy nights and memories than anticipated, and the reality of living in honestly beats all the movies and T.V. shows. If you’ve lived in or are planning on living in at some point here are twenty-five realities of sorority house life.


1.   On event nights like semi-formal, don’t expect to take hot shower after 5pm.   

2. The TV is always on. Generally playing SVU, Gossip Girl, or Grey’s Anatomy.   

3. You eat more bagels than you thought humanly possible.   

4. Blood will be shed during room picks.   

5. The house always seems eerily quiet Sunday afternoon. Everyone’s finally getting their lives together.   

6. The internet is so slow. Especially during midterms and finals.   

7. You share clothes on a daily basis.   

8. You never get any work done at the house. None. Ever.   

9. Everyone always makes fun of each other.   

10. If you have a car, be prepared to be bugged all the time. Trips to Walmart, Starbucks, and fraternity houses are all on the agenda.   

11. Thursday night = Chaos.   

12. The washers or dryers or printer never works. Especially when you really need to use it.   

13. You get distracted so easily.   

14. You develop your own lingo. Leaving the house and going elsewhere you soon realize not everyone gets what MO’ing means.   

15. Grilled cheese or chicken fingers is a call for celebration   

16. It’s either too hot or too cold. The temperature is never okay.   

17. SOS   

18. Getting people to do their chores (ie. take out the garbage, clean the kitchen) is nearly impossible.  

19. The lost and found is ALWAYS overflowing.   

20. The kitchen looks like a tornado after game-day.   

21. Weekends are sad because you don’t get fed.   

22. Boy policy :(   

23.  The bathroom is always covered in hair. In the showers, in the sink….everywhere.   

24. You always have a buddy to walk to class with.   

25. You wake up most mornings hungover but thankful for the greatest girls and best year of your life.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
