another question about the glv

requirements are different for every house but not everyone from a PC is required to live in because none of the houses are big enough to accommodate that many people (plus older girls will sometimes live in too). most of the time you are expected to be prepared to live in as a sophomore/in your second year of membership but obviously not everyone does live in. as for houses off campus they’re less “official” than frat houses are because sororities don’t host parties but plenty of sorority girls rent apartments and houses with their sisters.

like the poster above mentioned, houses in the glv aren't large enough to accomodate everyone. i can only speak from my experience, but i absolutely LOVED living in the glv! our house didn't have singles (other than for the president) and ngl i wasn't super-psyched to share a room with someone. plus, every house has shared bathrooms with like 10 girls. i know...i know, that sounds awful. but there was never a wait for a shower, you have a locker to store things (same with the kitchen) and there was ALWAYS someone to study, cook, grab a bite to eat, go shopping, exercise, watch tv, or just hang with. maybe guys have a different perspective because they can't party in the glv but can party in their other houses. since srats don't host parties that isn't an issue. please don't let the "communal" piece of glv living scare you. truly some of my best college and sorority memories were from living in the house! not at formals, etc. but just the day to day. good luck!

same. wouldn't have designed the houses the way they are but the shared spaces are all part of the experience and it's super fun!
