I'm a senior in a housed chapter...but I have close friends in unhoused chapters. The idea of cold dorms freaked me out during recruitment and I also am a more private person so I was happy to get into a house that doesn't have cold dorms. I like living in my sorority house and having a single. However, it's not all roses and there are numerous times when I get annoyed about living in the house as well. It's not as if the unhoused sororities don't live together. My friends in the unhoused chapters do live with their sisters...just in apartments and houses, not a sorority house. That seems really fun to me as well. I would have been down for that, and I think that that also forms strong bonds between sisters. What I think is important to understand is that, even though it may seem like we are all super close during recruitment, it is unrealistic to be close to every sister in your sorority. You'll get to know them all and you will get along and respect and love one another, but this idea that you're all close because you're living under one roof is false. Friend groups will and do form, and I think therefore that the unhoused sororities don't actually have any realistic disadvantage because of their housing situation. Like I said, living in apartments/houses with sisters sounds fun to me, and these girls get really close with one another as well. A house does not make a home. Your home will be with your sisters, but you don't need a sorority house to feel at home with them
