Living in your sorority house is by far the best thing you will do in your college career. You learn so much about yourself and everyone you live with. Not to mention it's probably the cheapest rent you will pay throughout college and it has so many perks. It's the central area where all of the girls in your chapter meet. There is always someone coming to hang out and spend time with you. What could be better than that?!
1. It's close to everything.
Nothing is better than having a five-minute walk to class or to the bars. Especially when you can roll out of bed and be in class in record time.
2. Leftovers from sisterhood dinners.
Okay, I take that back. Absolutely nothing is better than lefties from sisterhood especially when it's Panera or Olive Garden. I love being able to have a big dinner with all the people in my chapter.
3. You know everything 24/7.
You always know what's going on. You literally have the inside scoop on anything and everything. There are definitely perks to that -- especially when really fun and exciting things are going to happen to your chapter!
4. How to share bathrooms.
Having to share a bathroom is not always everyone's cup of tea, but it's kind of nice to have someone to sing along with while you get ready for the day or when you're getting ready to go out.
5. Always having someone to hang out with.
It's always nice to have someone to go get food with when you run out of food and are too lazy to go get groceries. Or even go to the library and get some quality study hours in. You always have someone to pull all-nighters with to help you cram for a hard test the next day. Last, but not least, you'll almost always find someone to hit the gym with. You're almost always a little more motivated to go exercise when you see other girls going.
6. Pulling pranks on one another.
Obviously we keep it light, we keep it fun, but more times than others we are always trying to prank someone. If it means hiding behind the staircase to scare the living hell out of you, so be it! Or even throwing dead spiders at someone during recruitment workshop.
7. It's a great meeting place.
It's a great place to always meet someone for lunch or to go study at the library, or even when people have to get together for committee meetings.
8. Someone to always drive you to class.
You can always bet that you will convince someone who is not too terribly busy to drive you to class just because its a good 10 minute walk from your house to the building you have class in.
9. More than 12 closets (you never run out of things to wear).
Need to borrow something? Great! You can count on any of the girls you live with to let you borrow something, because chances are whatever piece of clothing you are about to buy someone will already have it.
10. You always have people cheering you on.
Everyone gets stressed every once in a while and it's nice to have some kind words to reassure you that everything will turn out. Because at the end of the day, everyone needs a little pep talk and nothing compares than getting a pep talk from your sisters. That's what they are there for: to build you up when you are down. At the end of the day they are your day one bae's and I couldn't be happier to have these girls in my life.
