5 Reasons Why Living In A Sorority House Is The Worst Best Thing That Will Ever Happen To You

Oct 19, 2015

I'm two months into my second year living with all of my best friends. Although living in a house full of 50 girls may seem crazy, I wouldn't trade it for the world even if I'm exhausted all of the time. So to my lovely sisters of DPhiE: Thank you for making my college experience the worst best thing that I will ever encounter.

1. Your clothes will slowly disappear

Living in a house full of 50 girls means 50 closets, which means 49 people coming into your room all day, every day, raiding your closet to find the perfect outfit. Don’t worry; your washer isn’t eating all of your clothes. And Timehop is a clear reminder that your roommate still has that shirt that you’ve been looking for for a year.

2. Kiss sleep goodbye

As if college in general hasn't already deprived you of sleep, and under eye concealer isn't already your secret best friend, living in a house where you can walk into anyone’s room at any time of the day or night will officially complete your transition from human to zombie.

3. You’ll always have someone to stay in with you

There will always be people in the house that want to “turn up” every night of the week. Don’t worry, you’re not alone in wanting to binge-watch Netflix until your eyes feel like bricks.

4. The Freshman 15 will turn into the sophomore 30

Some of your friends will manage to maintain their weight of 120 pounds, even though they eat Wendy’s every night at 3 a.m. But you might not be that lucky. Have will power, people!

5. Crafting will consume you

In a house full of girls who live for burning their fingers with hot glue guns and having pounds of glitter stuck in their hair after three showers, you'll never again use the words "procrastination" and "crafting" in the same sentence. Learn to love it!

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
