[@abigale3629]

Basically you pay more money to get friends and live in a big house.

[@KNHarrison125]

Hope this helps. It's 14 quick points. Sorry about the length. Lol Fair warning. 1. Fraternities (guys) and sororities (girls) are essentially giant clubs for students to join. There are some that are co-ed. They provide students with a chance to get more involved on campus and in their community and meet new people. 2. You have to be accepted and pay dues to join. Dues can be expensive but the dues cover parties, help to finance events that your greek org puts together, events with other greek orgs like mixers and intramural sports, insurance in case anyone ever gets hurt, your meal plan if your greek house has a chef, shirts for events, and some service/philanthropy events. I've seen some pay $100 per semester and I've seen some pay $2,500 a semester. All depends on what is being offered to you as a member. But if the fraternity/sorority has an official house like the one in this video you can expect the dues to be a bit more. 3. You do have to meet certain GPA requirements and generally they are moderately high to get in. You also have to maintain a certain GPA or else you can be placed on academic probation which usually involves losing your social privileges until you pull your grades up. So in most cases the kids in these orgs do care about grades. Most, not all, but I would say most care. You will have some slip through the cracks but most try to avoid that. 4. A lot of them also require that you do a certain amount of volunteer/community service hours per semester to stay active as a member. So it's not just non-stop partying. 5. Not every fraternity and sorority has a massive house like this. At my school there are strict zoning rules for all students who wish to live off campus so the fraternities and sororities usually rent out larger houses around campus and make them unofficial greek houses. And there are around 8 to 16 people living in each greek house at my school. At some schools where Greek life is a super huge part of the campus culture you may see these giant mansions built by alumni donations or apartments designed by the school specifically to house a small percentage of Greek students. Some of these mansions might have 60 people living in them. But it is possible to see a house like you do in the movies. You also aren't required to live in the houses. But you do get a discount in your dues for doing so. 6. The size of the greek org also varies by school. A chapter of Chi Omega at one school could have 60 members but a different chapter of Chi Omega at a different school could have 350 girls. 7. There are some fraternities and sororities that are made for certain minorities ( black, latino, asian, LGBT, muslim, and religious students.) These minority Greeks tend to have more of a historical aspect with them and concern themselves with topics that impact them directly. Like a Jewish fraternity/sorority celebrating Rosh Hashanah or a black fraternity/sorority doing volunteer work to help impoverished black youth and doing things on campus to help with the black students. You can still join even if you are not that specific minority. Plenty of white people join black and latino fraternities/sororities. I know a guy who was black and Christian, yet joined a historically Jewish fraternity. 8. There have been problems in the past with traditionally white greek orgs not accepting minorities but within the past 20 years many have become very diverse. There are still small issues but it is better overall. 9. Some greek orgs are designed to focus on community service or are designed to help students of a specific college major and these place less emphasis on partying and more on networking, your grades, improving interview techniques, having you meet service organizations and potential employers, and helping to boost your resume and land jobs. There are even some service fraternities designed for kids who are music majors or are musically inclined as a whole. 10. This specific sorority in the video would be classified as a "social greek organization" meaning that they do party and have social mixers with other fraternities and sororities in addition to doing community service work. 11. Some fraternities and sororities are like what you see in the movies where they party a lot, are very prestigious, filled with the popular kids, and have a social hierarchy, but I'd say the majority are very down to Earth and aren't as crazy as what the media makes them out to be. 12. A lot say that you are "buying your friends" by joining greek life. But the same could be said for any other club you join at college cause a lot have dues and the sole purpose of you joining a club was to get involved and meet new people. So... 🤷🏽‍♂️ 13. Sororities and fraternities are very diverse. Not all are full of rich kids. Not all of the sororities are full of drop dead gorgeous skinny models. Not all of the guys in fratenrities are extremely athletic with a 6pack. Find what works for you. 14. Some of the fraternities and sororities have chapters in the Caribbean countries, in Canada, and some have chapters in Europe and Africa at certain schools.

Regina Bando V. It’s basically a bunch of girls apply to live and represent their sorority and sadly the girls who live there judge and pick from the group. I say sadly because most of the times they discriminate at least in my college that was happening.

[@risunut]

imagine a club, but bigger i guess? u could really just go anywhere, be like "hi im in this sorority!" and then that's immediate common ground u can have with other people. u would go through recruitment where a bunch of girls sign up to attend events to learn about each different sorority and then by the end of it, you can receive a bid if they liked u and u liked them. there are a few types of sororities, the more mainstream ones are the ones u see here. i think the bigger greek life is at the school, the more strict/discriminatory they may be. they have other sororities that aren't as well known, but usually have a focus on something like volunteering, religion, ethnic groups, or lgbtqia+.

At my school the sorority houses have people who cook their meals during the week days but not really on the weekends. No sure about the cleaning but wouldn’t be surprised if people came into help

[@gearsandsteam1]

At my sorority we have a cook and a handyman/cleaner. It is expected that girls keep their rooms tidy and vacuum them themselves. The room I lived in had its own bathroom, but we had to clean it ourselves. Other sororities on my campus had someone who came into clean, but didn't have a cook. The ones without a cook did catering instead.

[@DownwiththeRabiit]

Never been too big on the sorority thing, but this makes it seem pretty cool. Also, the fact it's a historical house and there is a picture of the original building makes it really special! Honestly, I thought the history part was one of the coolest things

[@KiaraMadisen]

Thank you! It is really cool to hear about the traditions through so many generations.

[@caitlinblue9061]

This is so cool to see!! I live in the uk so we have nothing like this!!!! Was so interesting

[@caseydykes117]

Is someone able to explain the sleeping porch thing? Xx

[@josie300]

I’m genuinely astonished that they share rooms. It’s literally just not allowed in university accommodation in England it would never happen. I would also kick off soooo much if I had to share a room tf that’s the only space that you can escape from everyone when it gets too much and then there’s other people in there??!

[@vv2922]

Josie Jones Really? In England, do you get individual rooms? I live in the US and I hate the thought of sharing dorms or rooms.

[@josie300]

Vane V yeah, you can get shared apartments in second/ third year but it’s not advised at all

[@vv2922]

Josie Jones Yeah, that makes sense. People fight due to diff personalities, jealousy, stealing, bullying, etc. Can’t imagine having to deal with that while trying to live a peaceful and studious college life.

[@KiaraMadisen]

it's really not that bad...everyone has such busy schedules it's not like your roommate is always there, plus there are so many places in the house to find quite space where you can chill too :)

[@vv2922]

Kiara Madisen If you’re lucky to have decent people around. My mom’s friend’s daughter said her roommate bothered her studies when she brought guys to fuck in their room and kept locking her out their room and kept music loud. When she confronted her roommate, the more the girl did it (idk why). She endured it until she could leave and enlisted in the navy.

I’ve been watching so many sorority house tours and none of them made me want to join one until this video - the vibes are emasculate!!!

How could you have a room without a bed??? I'm so lost lol

[@haleyblake4320]

@@rachelelizabeth2483 in my sorority house we have day rooms where your desk and clothes and things are, then all the beds are in one big room (a sleeping porch). I believe its because of fire safety laws for our particular house. And the rooms wouldnt be big enough.

[@jewel7784]

LOL i was in a sorority at a city school in Washington D.C. and we didn't even have houses like this! we didn't have the space or the number of people to fill it up. i don't wish we had a proper house since i never lived in our townhouse anyway, but it still looks cool.

[@HaleySchultz]

Ugh love. It’s like MTV Cribs Sorority addition. I really like seeing the less “extravagant” houses like many schools in the south have. It’s a cool contrast to have a bit smaller and more historic house that has that really homey feeling like this. :)

[@KiaraMadisen]

Ahh I love it! And yes I so agree! This house has felt like home since I walked into it and I just always feel comfortable here :)

[@HaleySchultz]

@@KatRettino Haha i know this house is totally beautiful! Look like an Alabama sorority house tour though and you'll see what I mean. They just have like 50 bedrooms and pools and crazy things at some schools.

[@kokumamo]

This is so interesting! I didn't really know the culture behind sorority in American universities and how they work but after looking at several videos and this one included, I think I understand it more a little bit better of how they work and represent. We don't really have sororities in my country but we have student associations and communities that works like sorority; doing fundraisings, charities, community services, etc. Having community/student housing for specific association is very rare but I see the appeal of having your own house and living together. We just have separate male and female dorms in universities but the majority of the students chooses to live outside campus anyways and live with close friends instead.

[@JazzyLewis19]

Cute! But idk why the brick room is most popular. It was the darkest and smallest to me lol.

[@JBrotsis1]

Student here at UO. Never seen the inside of a frat or sorority house except in movies and tv shows. Nice video! It was very informative and I do love how reasonably intact the house is still in compared to when it was first built. I hope at some point during my time here I get to see the inside of one of the many we have with UO. I’m genuinely more interested in the history and architecture of the older homes. Good luck during your final couple of weeks!

[@KiaraMadisen]

Thanks so much for your genuine comment! It is truly so well built and amazing how much work goes into the upkeep of the house which is so appreciated by all the girls who call this place home.

[@JBrotsis1]

Kiara Madisen I was serving, about a week ago, a group of ladies from one of the sororities (can’t place which one it was) who were having a chapter meeting and they talked a lot about their house too and how much they love living there. One take away some of the other people in this comment section don’t seem to understand that I find very beneficial about sororities and frats is the comradry. They can call it “buying friends” but do you know how difficult it can be to make friends at a new school with nearly 8,000+ students lol? How intimidating it can be. That’s what’s so great about these houses, making those connections and friendships right out the gate. It makes your overall academic experience more worthwhile and engaging. So again kudos to you joining and giving others an inside look 👍🏻. I can’t recall in the video but did you mention what year you are this year? What’s your major or what majors are you leaning towards if you’re still undecided?

[@MsRaconteur]

All of the study rooms are my favorite....ya’ll have more places to study than my whole dorm building

[@MelissaMabe]

I always wondered what it would be like to live in a large sorority house! I lived in the smallest Chi Omega house! We only had 4 people who lived there!

[@Isoliettie]

Is living in a sorority house cheaper than a dorm?

[@Jay-sw3fh]

Idk _ for some school yes

[@KT-rk6fn]

You have to pay for friends also so not really

[@sally7284]

Idk _ it honestly depends on the school. i go to the university of Michigan, and I was assigned one of the more expensive dorms my freshman year. i will be living in the AOII sorority house next year, and it is slightly cheaper.

[@sally7284]

K T that’s a really negative way of thinking about it. yes, there are chapter dues you have to pay, but you get so many things in return! there are tons of events throughout the school year such as bid day, sisterhood events, philanthropy events, date parties. i love my sorority, and it is a lot more to it than just “pay for me friends”.

[@KiaraMadisen]

Yes, at my school it is :)

[@indigodenim]

Lol they decorated all the rooms the same way.....

[@AltKaycee]

A question I have is how do you join, where do you join and when do you join, should you join before you get to campus on your first year or any year that you want to try and join or do you join once you actually get to campus, so should you join in August or when you are actually there on campus. Also where do you join and whats the proccess of joining like do you need a essay done of who you are as a person? Things like that Id really wanna know how that process goes :) also love the house it seems very nice to live in and the girls seem very sweet. Edit: sorry i got one other question how many members are allowed to join because rooms are limited?
