missing out without houses
by: honestly thoughWe are missing out big time without sorority houses. I feel like I'd be so much better friends with my sisters if we did have them. Visited a friend at Ole Miss last weekend for the game and I am so jealous of their houses. Obviously I love auburn and my sorority here so I wouldn't transfer for a house, but I really wish we did have them. Is there a way we could start a petition to get them? Or do you have to be high up and important in your sorority to be able to put that up for vote with Panhellenic?

Part of the reason I chose auburn over other southern schools was because of the Greek life & the lack of sorority houses. As a college student on a budget, I can't afford to be forking over $6,000 per year just to be in a sorority. That's insane. I love how dues at AU are so affordable thanks to housing in the Village. If auburn does decide to get sorority houses, I hope it's after I've graduated so I don't have to pay for it!!

There are no houses at Auburn because when the school started one of the founding female members said that having more than four women live together constitutes living in a brothel. Apparently, there is some clause saying sorority houses can't be built or this founder's family will pull back their donations.

This rumor has been going around for DECADES at every single school that doesn't have sorority houses! A variation of it is that town or city codes say that women living together constitutes a brothel...don't buy into it! It's so ridiculous that this rumor keeps going round and round. Use your brains people.

So much wrong with that. First of all, there were no women founders of Auburn. And it was founded as an all-male school, so nobody even considered women as students for the first 40 years or so. By the time women were eventually admitted it had become a public school, so any founding members would no longer have a say. And good point above, how would you explain women living in dorms? BTW it's only been in the last 15 or 20 years that there has even been a woman on the board of trustees. So if we want sorority houses, it's gonna have to be the WOMEN who make it happen.

Agree! I've visited friends at several other schools. Dorms are no comparison to houses.

Lots of schools use private antebellum homes and turn them into beautiful sorority houses (been to Athens??). True, not many of those around here, but surely some houses would work.

The dues are not that different. Check your facts. We do need to make a change or we'll fall further and further behind.
