My D lived in Tut her freshman year (she is currently a Soph.). She could have lived in other dorms but chose Tut because she too was going through recruitment and liked that it was close to sorority row. She had stayed with an Aphi and a Phi Mu during Panhellenic Preview Weekend (girls are now no longer allowed to do this) and she said that although it was older she thought it was ok and the girls she met all told her that with as much time as she would be spending at the sorority for convenience sake she should stay in Tut. That being said there are others who have DD;s who post here whose DD’s have lived in the Ridgecrests and they will tell you that it’s a hike but not unbearable or undoable. I know quite a few girls who will be going through recruitment and they are about divided in half as to whether they will be staying in Tut or Honors housing. It just depends on your preference. My DD also liked the fact that she did not have a room to herself but a roommate and she felt that with all of the girls who lived in Tut she made tons of friends and that it was easier because she couldn’t go in her room and just shut the door. I will say my DD is VERY social and so making friends is not hard for her. With study hours, required meetings, chapter, swaps, game day activities, you most likely will not be in your room a lot anyway…that’s something to consider as well.
