In This Article:

Everyone thinks that living in a sorority house is exactly house tv portrays it to be. A party house, a strict house with a bunch of rules or just girls trying to buy their friends, but honestly it makes school a thousand times better. Need a reason to live in the house or to convince your parents? Check out these 9!

You get the on campus experience without having to live in a dorm

You get the on campus perks like having good parking spots and being close to all of your classes without having to be a freshman again in the terrible dorms

You don't have to pay to do your laundry

Unlike living in the dorms and some apartment complex's you don't have to pay to wash and dry each load which saves you so much money

The food is bomb

Those gourmet meals were so far away last year when you were on the other side of the campus, but now they're just 10 steps away downstairs. It's so amazing to be able to just wake up go downstairs in your pjs and get a cup of coffee and an omelet.

It's close to the stadium

You don't have to worry about the long walks or getting parking on game day just walk two seconds and your where all the fun happens.

It's actually cheaper

It's cheaper than some apartments and for me was cheaper than living in a dorm freshman year.

If you don't know anyone here you meet people!

If you don't know many of your sorority sisters living in the house gives you the opportunity to make more friends. They're fun events that the people in the house get to do and have fun together. You get ready before events together and just sitting in your hallway having amazing conversations.

It makes rush a tiny bit better

During breaks during rush are amazing when you live in the house because you can go upstairs and take a quick nap or catch up on bachelor in paradise with your friends and if you forget something its right upstairs which is great.

You get your mom away from home

House moms are the best. They are there for you whenever you need then and help you with anything.

Your best friends and sisters are your roommates and neighbors 

You get to see your best friends ever day when you step out of your room. You get to have silly arguments on whether or not you should put ketchup on eggs and when you need something that you don't have you just knock on their doors and they are there for you in a second.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
