Alabama has the most outrageously gorgeous and huge mansion sorority houses, but it’s a big school

@mom2collegekids Alabama has the houses she dreams of! She was on google images and she was sold. She would probably love Alabama, but from what I heard it’s so hard getting into a sorority there, especially coming from NY and not knowing a soul. If we ever lose the small school vs big school battle, Alabama is definitely of interest. I’m still hoping she will find smaller schools to love though.
The sorority houses at Elon are fairly modern, in a little area right on campus. Each house has its own look to it.
At most of the big southern schools, the sorority houses are BIG, but may not sleep that many, like 50-100, when they have 350+
Check out Ohio State and Miami of Ohio
Please stop repeating this stupid myth. It has been debunked so many times and it keeps rearing it’s head.
How much would the dues be to live in a sorority house like one of those multi-million mansions? It would have to be much more than room and board on campus wouldn’t it? Assuming one would get in to one of those sororities.
@Meggie17 I don’t think room and board will be that much dfferent than regular room and board, but I think where you end up paying thousands of dollars extra is in fees each yr just to be a member. Each sorority is different and has different rates
So the fees to belong to a sorority are in addition to room and board to live in a sorority house?
A lot of times small colleges don’t have houses for sororities because there aren’t enough members in each sorority to justify the cost of maintaining a house.
Also, does she want to go to a small college?
I don’t think this is such a bad thing. If she’s looking at the kinds of schools commonly discussed on CC - all of those places are great schools, so differentiating between them on the basis of campus life and culture is probably a good decision. She does, after all, have to live there for four or more years - and she’ll probably learn as much outside of the classroom as in. I chose my college primarily on the basis of the social life and the campus culture.
Not always. In fact, often the chapter dues from every member (whether they live in the house or not) go towards maintaining the house, since meetings and such are held in there, so sometimes living in the house can be cheaper than living on campus. Sometimes it’s more. It really just depends on the school.
Centre College in KY might be worth a look.
