sleeping porches
by: pnmHi! I am a PNM and obviously really looking forward to living in a sorority house one day, so I have a question! I have heard of sleeping porches and I am so curious about them. Where do the girls keep their stuff since it is just a room of beds? What happens if someone is a snorer, or someone wakes up at 5 in the morning? Do the people around them just get woken up as well? What do you do if a friend wants to come and visit? Can anyone share their experience with sleeping porches?

none of the sorority houses here have sleeping porches unless they're in a swing house (so theta and sigma kappa).... now they're just traditional dorm style with two girls per room. friends (boys or girls) that arent in the sorority are not allowed upstairs or basement of any house. thats the rules.

Friends (that are girls obviously) from other schools can't come visit and stay the weekend at the house?

@ :(, I know in my house while other girls can come upstairs they aren’t allowed to sleep over at the house. If you have friends that come visit you will almost definitely have friends who aren’t living in the house who you can have your friends stay with

The swing houses are the older houses that sororities live in for a year or two while they wait for their new houses to be build. The old AGD and ADPi houses are the swing houses and KD, KKG, Phi Mu, Zeta, DZ, and AOPi have all lived in one of them for a while and Theta and SK will be in them this year

probably not. there really isnt any room for them to sleep anyways unless they bring an air mattress... you'd have to ask your house mom once youre in a sorority but i assume they'll say no.

In my house you can have a girl stay for the night or weekend as long as our house mom knows, they sign waivers that the guest is the responsibility of the active, and the roommate is ok with it. I know a lot of girls who had a sister and their friend come and visit. The rules are so strict regarding if they get caught drinking anything ( immediate dismissal) most of the time their night consists of a movie night in the common room.

Huge liability to have non-member girls staying in the house, that's why there are forms/agreements involved. If you don't follow your house rules on this you can get kicked out.

Just passing through. This same question was weirdly asked on our site just today.
I'm a PNM and so confused about sleeping porches! Can anyone share their experience? Where do you keep your stuff? What happens if someone likes to wake up at 5am, does their alarm just wake the people around them up? Can you really not have your phone? What do you do if you have a friend wanting to come visit? Sorry for so many questions I'm just curious!

Who cares. I imagine lots of people come on to our site to ask questions because it's probably one of the most active schools on greek rank. You came on our site and you don't go here...kind of proves the whole point!

Interesting That's pretty much exactly what you said on the OU site just now, only you were still trying to pretend to be a PNM at Oklahoma. I'm confused now. Are you a PNM at Oklahoma, or a PMN/Active here? Can't you keep that straight?

Sorry, but typing the full Nickname makes me throw up in my mouth a little bit. :)
You must have met our troll. I guess we can add Oklahoma to her admitted trolling of Alabama, UF, and FSU. Good times.

Babe? Is that supposed to make you look cool and edgy?
So if you're an Alabama active, why did you post the same thing on Oklahoma's site, then post almost the exact same defense when someone pointed it out? It took me all of 15 seconds to pop over there and read what #3 was talking about.
Most people would just accept that they were caught, but you carry on making yourself look foolish. It's entertaining, at least.

The one aopi is in, alpha gam’s original house, does in a way. They’re divided up to be smaller (I think four on each floor maybe?) but they’re there. I’m not sure aopi used them that way but that was the original intention. The last house that had big traditional sleeping porches was Tri Delt’s round house

aopis swing house did use their mini sleeping porches but they also had a room that two girls would share for their clothes and makeup which also had a couch that some girls would sleep on

Yep that’s generally how sleeping porches go, two girls have a room with closets and desks and a bed or couch for hanging out and then they sleep on the porch

Right. That’s why Phi Mu started (and still keeps) their house tour. I think they were the only one that had bedrooms instead of sleeping porches before the re-build.

I don’t think my house has any rules about bringing female friends upstairs and they’re definitely allowed in our basement (and guys can go in the basement too)
