<p>My D will be attending Case in the fall. If she joined a sorority, would she have to live in the sorority house? My son had belonged to a fraternity during his college years and he had his own apartment. </p>
<p>When do people usually join sororities?</p>
<p>The girls “rush” in the spring. There is an informal time to get to know them in the fall. Case has a lot of information on their website with links to all the Sororities. The fees and the type of events they host are also included as well as the process for potential new students to join. I do not think any student is required to live in the sorority house, but that may vary between all 6 of them. There are fees I noted for a few if you did not live with them…but that is because each Sorority is responsible to support itself. I am not sure if I can post the link here but if you can’t find it…PM me and I will send it to you. My D is an incoming freshman so I am reading up on it myself. :)</p>
<p>You are not required to live in the house, and most houses do not have space for every student so they operate on a lottery system. However, I know Alpha Phi pretty much requires their sophomore class to live in the house that year. Each sorority differs-- it’s something for your daughter to ask during formal rush time!</p>
<p>D’s overnight was at a sorority. She did say she visited other dorms where some of the girls belonging to the sorority lived, like jkrtist said. Apparently if the girls want any kind of social life they have to belong to a sorority.</p>
<p>BTW - D has made it clear that if she attends Case she will join one.</p>
<p>Definitely not true- there are tons of people who are not involved in greek like who have social lives! My best friend didn’t want to be in one, and she has more of a social life than most people I know! You just have to seek both greek and non-greek social events instead of having to go to them because of obligation.</p>
