Hi ASA

Poster Message:
"Every ASA I've talked to constantly says that being unhoused is the best." That claim is a weird/very suspicious to say the least. I feel like "being unhoused is the best" does not ring true. From my understanding, many ASA's live with their sisters anyway. And even if you don't live with your sisters, you will get tired of living with any roommate at certain times. But you're not going to stop rooming with your friends because at the end of the day the good times outweigh the bad. Living in a sorority house is the same thing. You'll get tired of it at times, but overall it bonds you to each other like I believe not other experience can, and the good times way outweigh the bad. As an ASA, I don't think that you can speak on what having a house that people live in actually feels like, and as a girl from a housed sorority I cannot speak on what it's like to not have a house. I'm in the lower middle tier if you are wondering, so my sorority has never not had a house, however living in the house has been such a huge part of my experience and an overwhelmingly positive thing at that, that I would personally go for any housed chapter...and recommend that you ladies talk to your nationals and work on getting a house. That's really the only thing holding you back. You can claim that not having a house doesn't matter all you want, but if it really didn't matter then girls wouldn't be so obsessed with having a house. The fact of the matter is that living in a house does get frustrating, but that day-in-day-out experience with your sisters in the house is not something that can be replicated and really bonds sisters together. Take the example of your actual family. I'm not trying to be down on anyone, but you think it's not different to grow up not living with your parents? Of course it is, I grew up with a single parent and I love my other parent and my relationship with them is good, but I do think that we would have more memories and ultimately more bonding times if I had grown up with that parent living with me. Sure, there would have probably been more frustration between us, but that's likely not to be significant...you remember the good times. At the end of the day, no one gets along 100% of the time with their actual parents, actual siblings, or sorority sisters. But living together IS a SIGNIFICANT bonding experience. I'm not trying to downplay your sisterhood or bond. I'm sure you love each other, but I think it's a bit ridiculous to claim that living in a house together makes no difference.
