Pretty much every college in the nation that has Greek life has left the 1800's behind and gotten rid of archaic laws that ban sorority houses on campus. Except for, well, us. There is an old law that states more than a certain amount of girls living in a house is considered a brothel, or in a cruder sense, a whore house. 

So now the sorority girls of Miami are forced to spend their second year living in central quad dorms, or (sorry DG and DZ) Hahne hall. A lot of girls, including at one point myself, thought that it was unfair that the frat stars of the campus got to live in houses and do whatever they wanted and not have to worry about RA's. 

But after living in Minnich Hall for a while now, I've come to realize that we actually lucked out. Yeah, I'm bummed that my high school dreams of basically re-living Casey Cartwright's life from Greek will never happen. But living in the dorms, I get to live with my whole pledge class which is possibly the best thing that has ever happened to me, but I also get to live with and get to know girls from other sororities, because you can never have too many friends, right?! 

I get to take a short walk across the quad to visit my friends who live in other sororities, and we still get the use of our suites to have a space for just our sorority. 

I don't have to worry about having a strict house mom, or all the rules that come along with living in a house like my friends at other schools complain about having. 

We also get way cheaper dues because we don't have to pay for an entire house, which I think my parents are pretty happy about. 

So the next time you binge watch Greek instead of studying for your geology test (guilty), don't knock on sorority quad, because it's pretty darn great if you ask me. 

And let's be honest, we have all been in a fraternity house and in the majority of them you can't even touch a wall without fear of sticking to it. Frat houses are nasty, so let's leave the houses to the boys, and go hang in our twinkly light covered dorms.
