Some people may not ever get the ability to live in a sorority house, but trust me, they aren't missing much. While it is convenient to be able to walk down from my room for chapter or dinners, there will always be constant struggles of actually living here.
There is never any quiet time. Living with 12 other girls gets pretty noisy especially late at night when we decide it's a good idea to eat a midnight snack, or just gather in the common areas. I am constantly closing my doors and blaring my music so I can drown out the sound of people at weird hours of the night. But just like night, people can get loud during the day, which can get aggravating when you have homework due.
There is never any personal space. I can't remember the last time I was able to have alone time while living in the house. When it comes to sharing a bathroom with six other girls, having a roommate and sharing a kitchen with the whole household, you find yourself being surrounded with too many people at once, and never by yourself.
There is always something broken. Whether it is the TV, A/C, or refrigerator, don't ever count on something working right. With 13 people using these things on a daily basis, they are bound to stop working. Let's just say I spend many nights cuddled up in 5 blankets because it is too cold, and I sleep right under the vent.
I may sound like I hate living here, but in all honesty, I have enjoyed living in a sorority house so far. I am becoming closer with my sisters, and there will always be at least one person who is up to grab milkshakes at odd hours of the day. Oh, and having a house mom who cooks for you sometimes is pretty great too.
