Housing

                Living on the Floor

                I am pretty sure that housing is a big issue for everyone now that housing contracts has either been extended or denied. Guaranteed on campus housing for as long as you are in a sorority is one of the many reasons I decided to join my sorority in the first place. When you’re in a sorority you know exactly where you are going to live and don’t have to worry about the ridiculous lottery system placed for all the other kids on campus. I find it really nice to be able to live on a floor filled with friends and there are a lot of benefits to the way housing works for us sorority girls.

                The most obvious is that everyone else on your floor is a sister. That gives me the ability to just randomly walk into someone’s room ask them if they want to go to dinner or whatever. This is great because last semester I lived in East and it was so hard to make friends with the other people on my floor. In addition since we are like a big family they can give me clothes when I have nothing to wear and they will give me their opinion on my clothes so that when I go out I will look my best. I would never go back to living in regular dorms even though it cost 250 more per year to be in a sorority I feel as though it is worth it.

                It will really be worth it when the Greek Village is finally completed over the summer. The Greek Village is a set of buildings in South and Pollock that is only available for sororities. These buildings are being remodeled so that when we come back we are going to be living in what is pretty much a suite. The new dorms will all be carpeted with air conditioners and their own bathrooms. I am looking forward to that since I hate shower shoes. All in all living on the floor with my sisters is awesome and well worth the 250 especially since they are about to be redone.
