10 Reasons Living In A Sorority House Is The Best Experience

personal photo

I've heard from many people either considering Greek life or just curious about it ask me what living in my sorority house is like more times than I can count. The truth is if you have the option to live in your sorority's house, do it, you will not regret your decision. Here are 10 reasons why you should live in your sorority house if you can!

1. The House Is Your Closet

l literally borrow belts and sweaters from my sisters all the time! They're always a text away if you need anything to complete an outfit!

2. SNACKS EVERYWHERE!!!

Giphy

I'll get texts in my group chat saying that someone brought home a pizza for us or something all the time! Literally, you share everything with your sisters and sometimes the comes with food-related perks.

3. Bonding Sessions

Giphy

We all like to watch movies and make crafts together as a way of bonding. It's super fun and it's some of my fondest memories!

4. The Cute Little Notes You'll Get

Giphy

I love when I come back to my room in the house to little notes my sisters went out of their way to write me and stick them on my desk. It makes me feel loved and I keep every single note that is delivered to me!

5. The Late Night Study Sessions

Giphy

I don't normally stay up to do work but when I do, it's always near some of my sisters so I have company to entertain me!

6. The Constant Celebrations

Giphy

Whenever something amazing happens to any of us, we always celebrate it in some way because we like to build each other up all the time!!

7. Always Having Smiling Faces To Come Home To

Giphy

It's so nice coming home to people who genuinely want to know about your day and who are always happy to see you!

8. Always Having A Shoulder To Cry On

Giphy

If anyone is ever down, there are dozens of girls a room away ready to make you smile again!

9. The Constant Dance Parties

Giphy

I love it when my sisters come into my room while I'm playing music and they dance with me!

10. A Home Away From Home

Having somewhere to call home in college is one of the warmest feelings in the world. You'll never feel isolated or alone because you'll have a whole house that will help you remember what being home really feels like.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

LaGrange College

Rebekah Lee

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.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
