poll: did your roommate pledge the same thing
by: Pnm#4 by: act
The house my roommate pledged dropped me right before pref and at first I was heartbroken. But looking back on my freshman year, I'm SO happy we didn't end up in the same house. My roommate and I lived in Tut so we were basically living on top of each other and I think that had we pledged the same house, it would've been hard for both of us to deal with constantly being around one another.

Roommate and I were interested in different houses all the way to pref. She was dropped by her fav right before pref and we ended up at the same house. We were both totally surprised and thrilled as we really didn't talk about choices much since early on our interests were different. It's been fun to be sisters. No conflicts as roommates. We both live in the house now, but room with other people. We are good friends.

Me and one of my suite mates pledged the same house and our two others pledged different house but I feel like we all did kinda of change due to the different houses we were in.. that being said my roommate that pledged the same house ended up dropping bc it wasn't for her and I could understand it a little better bc I was there and I was around her in and out of the house

The thing about talking about your experience with other girls is that you can start to compare yourselves to them and it can turn into a competition. I lived in Tut my freshman year and my roommate and I ended up in different houses, but I remember going home every night, having dinner, taking a shower, and then just talking to my roommate for hours about rush. Looking back now, I can tell that it was more of a subconscious competition to see how many houses we got asked back to, how many actives in one house spoke to us, where we were seated, how many friends we had in our Rho Chi groups, etc. I also remember my roommate telling me how much she loved XYZ and I went into rush not wanting it just because I didn't want to be in the same house as her... Which was SO stupid of me because when I was in their house I didn't put in as much effort, but looking back I think I could've been really happy in that house.
Obviously, this is just my experience, but I know that a lot of girls feel pressured or feel inadequate during rush because of tent/roommate talk. My biggest piece of advice is to keep your true opinions to yourself and be open minded to all houses.

My roommate and I pledged the same house (tut), and we also chose to pref that house number 1 together. We knew each other before school so I knew that I would be able to handle that much time with her, and I LOVED being roommates in the same house. Everything was so much easier and our friends were the same so people were always in our room, our schedules were the same when it came to sorority commitments obviously, but I still got alone time when she was at class or somewhere else. Going out was easy, especially date parties, because we didn't have to worry about being too loud and waking the other up.
I wouldn't have done it differently, but I'm sure it also would have been awesome having a roommate in a different house

My roommates came home every night and talked about who we liked/didn't like. All 4 of us ended up in different houses. We all got along really well and I liked being in different houses because you get to hear about their experiences/meet their friends. t's not bad to talk about things with your roommates because you'll have your own opinion.
