This past year I had the opportunity to live in my sorority house. I can easily say that it was the best year of my life. I had the chance to live with 90 of my favorite people in the whole world. Yes, I realize how cliché that sounds, but you'll understand if you ever get the chance to live in. If you have already gotten to live in, I think you will be able to agree with me on this. Although there are some downsides to living in, such as some of your belongings randomly disappearing, not having much alone time, and eating at the same times every day, those are just minor blips to the amazing experience of living in.
So what is so great about living in a sorority house?
1.You always have someone around to help you, talk to you, cry with you, whatever you need, guaranteed someone will always be there to help2. Getting ready for events is always fun, especially when the whole house is involved because each room was playing a different song as you walk down the halls.
3.It's easy to make plans because your best friends live right down the hall.
4.You have 80 other closets to borrow clothes from.
5.The location is close to campus making the walk bearable.
6.You don't have to buy your own groceries or clean your own dishes.
7.You will never be bored.
8.You always have someone to share a meal with.
9.You don't have to keep up with your monthly bills.
10. When you come downstairs in something other then an XL t-shirt, everyone will comment on how beautiful you look.
11. When it's 11 p.m. and you want Sonic, someone will always go with you.
I learned a lot about myself after living in. I learned the importance of patience and respect for other people's space. You will have your moments of frustration when someone's music is too loud, or someone is talking too loud (yes PC13 I am aware that was always me but it was never intentional), but those little things never outweigh the good parts. I will never forget my time living in a sorority house. It was a once in a lifetime experience that I hope everyone will be able to experience. To the girls moving in next semester: good luck and take in every minute and every memory. It will go by faster then you can blink.
