Besides the fact that you have the advantage of being first in line for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, living in your sorority or fraternity house is something that all Greek students should experience for multiple reasons. 

First off, being physically closer to your brothers or sisters allows you to be closer to them emotionally, too, and living in-house gives you the opportunity to create relationships that you would not have happened otherwise. Sure, we have a countless number of friends in our organization whom we love to party with and talk to, but it takes a lot of time and effort to really know a person deep down. Living in a house our friends are constantly coming in and out of provides the chance to really get to know them and to spend more time with them. 

It's a beautiful thing to know somebody in a deeper sense than just dinner and socials. This goes for in-house sisters and brothers, out-of-house sisters and brothers, and even the house mom or dad. Spend some time getting to know your house parent(s), you won't regret getting to know them or providing an experience for the both of you.

Another benefit of living in-house is the convenience. Every sorority and fraternity has chapter meetings once a week and most Greek organizations also have Bible studies, philanthropy events, and a ton of other activities constantly going on at the house, not to mention all of the meals. Imagine how easy it would be to just walk out of your bedroom, and be in the middle of it all. Being able to avoid all the traffic in between the house and your apartment, or dorm, is another plus.

Living in-house is also a privilege in regards to being informed. Most houses have bulletin boards with point opportunities, communication gaps, and other important information that members should know, such as valuable dates and upcoming events. Not only do in-house members get to see that information, but they are also the first ones to receive awesome packages, like t-shirts. We all love getting new Greek shirts, and the sooner we get to wear them, the better.

The list of positive reasons to live in-house goes on and on, so if you get the chance to do so, take it.
