Why You Should Live In A Sorority House
Lauren Wallenfels

I have lived in my sorority house for about a month now and I can honestly say it is one of the best things to ever happen to me. Living in is a once, maybe twice, in a lifetime experience. It is not an opportunity that you will get many times in your life, if at all,so if the opportunity presents itself, take it and live in. It seems un-explainatory to me, but I have also had the experience to live in, so here are just a few of my favorite things about living in my house so far.

1. Living with your sisters.

When you live with your sisters you are literally never bored. You have about forty something girls in the house and those who don't live in are there all the time. Therefore you are constantly surrounded by your best friends, and what more could you really ask for than that?

2. Multiple Closets

That may not be an accurate depiction of what it looks like, but it is certainly what it feels like. I could go up to anyone in the house and ask them to borrow something and they would have multiple options already ready for me. I mean come on, that is every girl's dream!

3. The Chef

Everyone loves their mom's cooking, for the most part, but when you're at school, a home cooked meal is what is missed most by many students. Living in the house that is never an issue. When you have your own chef for the house you get that home cooked meal for breakfast, lunch, dinner and even dessert. The food is fancy and delicious.

4. The bond

If you thought you were close before, think again. You get even closer to your sisters by living in the house because your constantly surrounded by each other. You do and say the craziest things and your habits wear off on each other and you get to see everyone in their rarest of moments.

5. The location

There is nothing like living somewhere that's a good location. The sorority house provides the most amazing location on campus. Close to school and night life, you're street is always bustling with students and makes for a lively neighborhood environment.

6. The convenience

The fact that I can walk downstairs, ask if anyone wants to go on a quick Insomnia Cookies run and then it turning into an entire night of a dessert crawl is the most amazing thing to me. Just by walking down the stairs, my night went from a night of Netflix in bed to everlasting memories with friends.

7. The cleaning ladies

This may seem like something minor, but living with a ton of girls get messy really quickly. I mean we all have hair and shed a ton so cleaning ladies are something of importance in a sorority house. Them coming once a week is a luxury. With busy schedules and no one really wanting to clean, it is such a nice thing to have provided for us.

8. Bus Boys

Having bus boys is another thing that seems trivial, but is actually really important. There are often times tons of dishes need to be done. Again with the busy schedule not having to do our own dishes after dinner is another luxury we're provided with. Sure, it is something that takes minimal time in the end, but having a few bus boys is not the worst thing when girls have studying to do and class to attend.

9. The House


The sorority house itself is so nice. It is someplace you can not only call home, but a place that actually feels like a home. When you walk through the front door after a long day the relief of just knowing you're home is amazing.

10. The Memories

The memories are the most important thing about living in the house. The memories you make living in with your sisters are ones that you will never forget. From the nights cramming everyone into one girls room and laughing about god only knows what to getting ready to go out together and everything in-between, the memories are what's going to last a life time.

So, to all my sisters, thank you for making the past month an experience of a lifetime. I have loved every second of living with each and every one of you. The memories we have already created are ones to remember forever and I can't wait to make so many more over the next year. To the girls who are considering living in a house in the future, think no more. So enjoy you're time in the house if you're given the opportunity, because it is one that you will surely love.

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
