I Live In A Sorority House, And It Is A Dream Come True

Although anything is better than living in a dorm, living in a sorority house is better than having my own apartment.

Freshman year, I lived in a dorm that was very old, and in much need of a remodel. There was mold in the showers, living space was almost impossible to stay in, and you had to spend more on laundry than you wanted because you had to dry your clothes twice to make sure they weren't still wet.

Just because the dorm was the worst on campus, doesn't mean that I didn't enjoy it, though. It shaped who I was, and made me realize that I was extremely blessed to be able to go to college, no matter where I lived, and was there to get a quality education.

With that being said, the choice to move into my sorority house was probably the best decision I have made since going to college, right after pledging the best house on the hill.

First thing first, I'm already comfortable here, because I spent so much time in the house as a new member my first semester, and already know where everything is. The entire house is fully furnished, with a complete kitchen, laundry room, and two living rooms. The decor is everything I love: green and white, with pictures of my sisters proudly displayed. The couches are so comfortable, and it's nice having a large space to hang out with my sisters. The upstairs is where we stay, with four bedrooms, and three girls in a room. Each room has their own bathroom. and there is an entire wall dedicated to cabinet space and mirrors lining the tops.

There is so much space, including the closet, which is bigger than the one I have back home. Like I said earlier, I'm comfortable here already, and it's not like my roommates are strangers, which is nice. Everyone has a cleaning schedule, and I thank God that I don't have to save quarters or run my clothes in the dryer more than once.

It's very similar to having an apartment to myself, because a lot of the times, it feels like one big sleepover with my closest friends. We have avid movie nights, and love to eat dinner together, or bake something late at night when we can't sleep. The sense of togetherness and the minimal awkwardness is so much different than being in a dorm, because you have people on your hall who can be obnoxiously loud, and never follow the rules of boundaries. Being in the house, we all respect one another, and realize that this entire space is shared, and should be kept up and nice to live in.

If you ever decide to join a sorority, or if you're already in one, I highly suggest living in the house, because it will bring you closer to your sisters than you ever imagined.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
