sleeping porches?

All of the houses have rooms, some just also have sleeping porches. If you live in the sleeping porch you will also have a room in the house that you share with a roommate, where you can keep all your clothes and stuff and there's usually one sofa bed in them but you don't sleep in there. However there are also rooms in houses w/ sleeping porches that girls actually do sleep in, but those are usually reserved for exec board members or girls with the highest gpas and most merit points (something you'll learn about if you join a sorority). Sleeping porches are usually roomy and really not that bad-- everyone's very respectful and after a while you don't even notice that you're bunking in the same room as 10 of your closest friends. A lot of sororities at u of a have sleeping porches because the sororities have a lot of members but the actual houses aren't as big as the sorority houses in the south are. Also, if you don't like the idea you don't have to live in, only the 50 members with the most merit points typically get to anyways. You shouldn't base your panhellenic decision on aspects of the physical house, you should base it on whether you click with the girls in the house and could see yourself upholding the sorority's values and standards. Most of the top houses have sleeping porches, some houses don't for many reasons such as lack of necessity because of a smaller amount of members.

That being said, I know aphi, gphi, pi phi, dg, kappa, sigma and theta have sleeping porches. I know aephi and adpi don't, and I'm not sure about the other houses.

Peace and quiet. It's a good aspect of houses.

Okay, hear me out. I hated the idea of sleeping porches at first too. But they're actually great. If you want to take a nap during the day without being disturbed, it's next to impossible to do that when you live in a house with 40 girls.

Also, you still have a bedroom. And it has your closet, desk, and even a daybed where you can nap if you really want to nap in there. You'll still have a bedroom for all purposes other than sleeping.

Unless you join a house without sleeping porches. That's fine too. But I've actually never met a girl who says they hate their sleeping porch. In any house. Not once.

And if you still don't like the concept, live off campus. Most girls don't live in the house anyway. 200+ girls in a sorority and each one houses like 40-50 girls.
