Do you have a video explaining the point of being in a sorority? What, besides the nice houses, are the perks and the benefits? Why does anyone want to be in one, what do they do?
I kinda do!! this is my playlist of all my sorority videos : ruclips.net/p/PL4sUEHD0ZTdycR6pSpSa_gZWuY1JGP7pC so these might help all around, but also this video : ruclips.net/video/MC_rrFzqoNo/видео.html is a sorority Q&A about a lot of things that may be helpful, and then this one : ruclips.net/video/wogMeqJPGbs/видео.html is a breakdown of why you should join a sorority which may be what you're looking for! :)
Iowa here. I live in a college town (Iowa State) and I’d say this one is VERRRYYY midwestern but in my town there are lots of bricks and grand entries.
i'm moving into THE ohio state university on thursday and your vlogs have gotten me so. excited. for move in day and helped sm with my freshmen year move in anxiety. go bucks!!!
That is such a nice house! I can't imagine how lively it'll be in a couple weeks! I've been obsessed with your sorority videos and I'm thinking of rushing (???) who knows 🤷🏽♀️
It’s so weird seeing the house so empty. I talked to you a bit during recruitment this year and kept AOII until pref and the house was definitely one of the homiest
yo u should do a video where you and ur sorority sisters watch like greek life movies (like that miley cyrus one and Neighbors w seth rogan) and break down all the wrong things or like misconceptions and explain stuff. kinda like those videos by doctor mike where he watched like greys anatomy and breaks it all down. ;) anyway just a thought. love ur channel
I lived in this house 15 years ago when it was the AEPi house. Back of the house, center room. Looks like yallre taking much better care of the place than we did!
Basically you just say you want to live in lol. The house fist 35 girls and typically new members live first and then up the chain, so seniors typically don't live in to make room for the new members.
I just joined at NSU for the Kappa Chi chapter and I love seeing the different houses! Because we don’t get to live in our houses on campus ( because of some laws)
I'm part of a local sorority in Lethbridge, AB, Canada and your house is so nice! I live in our unofficial chapter house with a bunch of sisters and it's awesome :)
I can’t wait to rush when I start College. I’m still a bit nervous , but I know once I start rushing and get use to the experience. I’ll be less of nervous and more excited. Love your videos btw. 💜
Love your house!!! So cute! I just graduated from Indiana state, alpha omicron pi kappa alpha chapter !!!! ALAM ❤️ we lived in our own dorms there’s so 8 different sections each of us had our own
This is genuinely super interesting to me cause Greek life isn’t a thing over here in Australia . The closest thing we have it is the residential colleges at the big state universities. They’re basically sororities, just without the traditional bit. We still do all the sisterhood/ brotherhood thing and philo though. It’s kinda hard to explain
I’m going to ohio state this fall and I can’t wait!! :) I LOVE your vids so much 💗 and am thinking about rushing! When you’re in a sorority do you have to live in the sorority house all three years or do you have the option to move out and get an apartment eventually?
GO BUCKS!! Congrats!!! Every sorority here has different live in requirements. Some don't have any at all, some have a 1 year or 2 year requirement, others have all leadership positions live in the house. It just depends on the chapter you join. :)
when you join a sorority you get a big sister kind of thing (then you are the little) that big is like a mentor to you through your time in the sorority. They teach you everything you need to know and are just always there for you. Once you have been in for a year then you get your little to be a mentor to! But in my case, I got two!
when you're in a sorority you get a big sister who is like your mentor to you through your process. then you get to become a big sister and get a little (or in my case 2 littles!) who you can mentor through their new member process!
HAHA I know. I look everyone else's pictures and then someone else had to take mine, so of course the angling and everything was different since I took them all. lol.
a little is a new member who is just being initiated, everyone at some point was a little to a big, who helps her through the process and shows her the ropes of the sorority. So I have a big who helped me and a year later I became a big to two littles who I help! it's like a mentor program through the sorority.
How much do you generally spend each semester for dues? Could you give me an idea on the cost? I’m considering trying to join a sorority when I go to college but I’m still unsure
So every sorority costs different amounts and that changes at every school you attend and it depends on if you live in the house or not and for how long etc. so there are a lot of factors going into that, but I would honestly budget AT LEAST 10,000 a year if you're living in your chapter house and maybe half of that if you're not? But that is not guaranteed as it changes with every chapter and depending on your school etc. I hope that helps!!
Marissa Nicole Honestly even if I don’t join one it’s still nice to know that I have the option :). One of my best friends live in Columbus and they got me onto thinking about it and it really does sound like a great university! My only concern is that I’ll have a lot of student debt because I live in California and I’d be paying out of state tuition
oh yeah :/ out of state tuition is awful. Depending on your SAT/ACT scores you may get the National Buckeye Scholarship that will bring your tuition to in state rate!! You can look into that here: undergrad.osu.edu/cost-and-aid/merit-based-scholarships
It depends on the sorority, but typically its pretty comparable, you're just living with people you actually like with better meals rather than in the dorms lol.
Does anyone know if it's expensive to live here? I am from Europe so I know nothing about sorority houses lol. I think it would be so nice to live there!!!
typically sorority houses are expensive 😓 They differ depending on the school and chapter and how new the house is, how many girls live in the house, etc. but they can be $1,000+ per month per person!
Ok this isn’t my individual account, I’m actually a girl. I’ve always been really interested in joining a sorority when I get to college, but I don’t want to get involved in anything like drugs, partying, drinking etc. I’ve heard a lot that sororities are full of all of that stuff. Is that true? I want to go to OSU so I figured you’re a good person to ask.
I will be honest, these are social sororities, so there are girls who party and drink and may do drugs, but there are also tons of girls who don't!!! you can find a place and friends within a sorority that doesn't do those things all the time. My sorority always has 2 events going on at the same time if possible, for example: if we have a social that night (a party with a frat or something) then there will also be a movie night or family dinner somewhere for the people who don't like that scene and don't want to go to that party. so it is possible to join a sorority who isn't about all of that, but do know it is in greek life.
lol a little is a new member who just joined the sorority after they have been given a big to mentor them and be a friend through their time in the sorority. So I am a big to my two littles once they joined, and when I joined I was a little to my big, etc.
When you’re in a sorority you become a big and get a little (or in my case, twins, so I have 2 littles) you’re basically a mentor to them through their time in the sorority. You help them and teach them the ways lol.
Whenever I think of sorority houses I think of monsters university and oozma kappa lol
HAHAHA, the best sorority house of them all!
I want an Oozma Kappa sweatshirt for serious.
SAME!!!
The scream queens
Do you have a video explaining the point of being in a sorority? What, besides the nice houses, are the perks and the benefits? Why does anyone want to be in one, what do they do?

@@MyDriftingDesk Thank youuuu
@dream_ big we definitely do a lot of that!!!
In my state, we can not have sorority houses. The max of women living together in a house is 5. The same with men
That house screams Midwest. 😂 It’s so different compared to the southern houses, wow.
I know hahaha. I love those southern school houses omg!!!
Iowa here. I live in a college town (Iowa State) and I’d say this one is VERRRYYY midwestern but in my town there are lots of bricks and grand entries.
I’m from England and sororities fascinate me even though I still don’t really know what they are
they're so much fun!!! 💕
Marissa Nicole Tempted to go to university in America just to experience it😂
@@ameliagriffin2966 hahaha! it would be a fun experience!!!
I'm American and I'm still confused
im scottish and sammmee
i'm moving into THE ohio state university on thursday and your vlogs have gotten me so. excited. for move in day and helped sm with my freshmen year move in anxiety. go bucks!!!
AHHH!! That's so exciting!!! I hope you have SO MUCH FUN!!!!
That's my painting at 7:11! I'm so happy to see it in the house!!
I absolutely LOVE IT!
NGL, sororities scare tf outta me but I respect sorority girls so much
hahah! they shouldn't scare you!!
Very strange to see this all from an outside perspective lol, but it looks so cute and I can’t wait to see what y’all do with it this year! 💗
hahha I can imagine!!!! I miss you so much!!! Abby has CHANGED that room so much! hahaha.
That is such a nice house! I can't imagine how lively it'll be in a couple weeks!
I've been obsessed with your sorority videos and I'm thinking of rushing (???) who knows 🤷🏽♀️
YOU SHOULD DO IT!!!
Aw I’m an AOII at Kennesaw State! It’s cool to finally see an AOII RUclipsr! ALAM
HELLO SISTER!!! ALAM!!

Ahhh thank you so much!!! 💖
Marissa Nicole no thank you I’m 21 and a mom soo I get to live through you with college and sorority life
awww haha! I'm glad you can live vicariously through me! 💞
if I lived in this big house I would go crazy their is so much space 😭
It's AMAZING!!!! so many common spaces and hang out spaces!!! I love it!!!
It’s so weird seeing the house so empty. I talked to you a bit during recruitment this year and kept AOII until pref and the house was definitely one of the homiest
awww hey girl!!! ❤️ we love our cozy home lol. I hope you're doing well!!!
yo u should do a video where you and ur sorority sisters watch like greek life movies (like that miley cyrus one and Neighbors w seth rogan) and break down all the wrong things or like misconceptions and explain stuff. kinda like those videos by doctor mike where he watched like greys anatomy and breaks it all down. ;) anyway just a thought. love ur channel
thats a cool idea!!! I like that!!!
lol do sorority wars it’s my guilty pleasure movie! ALAM from alpha phi chapter!
@@laurenjohnsrude9510 I've never heard of that movie!!! I'll have to watch it!!
This. Also, House Bunny kills me.
AOII at Montana State! I loved this video! It’s so fun seeing what other chapters’s houses look like! 😁
aw thank you so much!!! ALAM! 🥰
I lived in this house 15 years ago when it was the AEPi house. Back of the house, center room. Looks like yallre taking much better care of the place than we did!
Oh yikes I can only imagine hahaha
i loooove your intro thingyyyy lmfoaoo it was so uplifting
thank you so much!!! every time I watch it, it makes me smile too lol.
Marissa Nicole omg hiii your college videos are sooo good. they make me really excited !!!!!!!!
yay!!!! I love to hear that!! 💖
How do you decide who lives in the house? ( I’m from Europe so I have no clue about sororities)
Basically you just say you want to live in lol. The house fist 35 girls and typically new members live first and then up the chain, so seniors typically don't live in to make room for the new members.
i started watching you because we’re in the same sorority (theta omega chapter at nau) and now i watch all your vids!!! i’m obsessed lol😂😊
Kappa delta chapter
awww I love this!!! ALAM!!!
I'm from Ireland but I still love watching your videos 🥰
aww hey girl from all the way over here!!
I just joined at NSU for the Kappa Chi chapter and I love seeing the different houses! Because we don’t get to live in our houses on campus ( because of some laws)
I loooveee seeing them too honestly!! every single one is so different and cool! 🫶🏼
Love this! I’ve been in that house many times because my older sister Jordan was an AOII at tOSU ❤️ I’m an AOII at IU :)
Awww!!! I LOVE JORDAN!!! ❤️❤️❤️ ALAM!!!! I am so happy for you sister!!!
The house is so cute!!! Love it!
Thank you so much!! 💖
I was an AOII alum at ASU!!! Much love sister, the house is soooo cute 💖💖💖
ALAM!!! thank you so much! 💕💕
Enjoyed this tour of your sorority!
I'm glad you liked it!!
The house was pretty. The outside fireplace looks great for warm fall nights.
ugh! I know! I can't wait!!!!
Never heard of this sorority before. I’m a delta gamma. Wonderful video
AOII has the most chapters nationwide and in Canada! but we aren't at some schools, which would explain that hahah.
I'm part of a local sorority in Lethbridge, AB, Canada and your house is so nice! I live in our unofficial chapter house with a bunch of sisters and it's awesome :)
aww I'm glad yall still live together even if it is unofficial! It makes everything SO much more fun!!!
@@MyDriftingDesk Oh it's so much fun, we just sometimes get distracted from homework!
@@moofishcosten4598 HAHAH! same!!!
I can’t wait to rush when I start College. I’m still a bit nervous , but I know once I start rushing and get use to the experience. I’ll be less of nervous and more excited. Love your videos btw. 💜
it'll be a GREAT experience!!! 💓

Reminds me of the movie house bunny
hahahha, I love that!
The outside of the house reminded me of a cottage in the woods
aww you're right!!
I’m waiting for the room tour 🤗
oh of course!!!
Aww this is definitely making me want to rush. Love the video ❤️❤️
You should definitely do it!!!
So cute and not what I was expecting I thought it would be bougie like the House Bunny or Scream Queens
hahahha, some houses definitely are!! especially in the South, but ours is just normal and cozy! we love it!
@@MyDriftingDesk yeah I definitely like this better it's down to earth and looks fun to actually live in
Look up the Alabama phi Mu house, that’s what you’re expecting 😂
@@xorayne_ FOR SURE!!
@@maganhare1442 omg yess.
Is it weird showing your house on campus knowing that people will totally know where you live??😬
Everyone knows where the sorority house is anyways lol. They have giant letters on them, they're kinda hard to miss.
I’m going to ohio state this fall and I can’t wait!! :) I LOVE your vids so much 💗 and am thinking about rushing! When you’re in a sorority do you have to live in the sorority house all three years or do you have the option to move out and get an apartment eventually?

I’m from Dalton State same AOII and we don’t have a house unfortunately so I live for this!!!
ALAM!!! Come and visit anytime!!!
Marissa Nicole I might!
We’re sorority sisters 💓
ALAM sister!!! 💖
how much is it to live in there?
It looks fancy
pretty comparable to living in the dorms at OSU!
(In the bathroom)
Marissa: there is also good lighting in here
(Video is orange)
😂
okay not good lighting for video hahaha, but pictures turn out good and getting ready it is PERFECT!
im new so i was wondering what your littles are?
Me too. Where I live there are no sorority houses and stuff so I am also wondering what that means haha 😊

Thank youuu
The rooms you showed with the stairs inside, do they have a loft or something? :o Loved this video ❤
YES they have a loft!!

How do people get into sorority houses?
when you join a sorority you get to live in the house!!!
Sorry I’m from England and I don’t know what a little is
What is it?😫

NO WAY! just to check it out?
Hi sister!!! I’m an AOII as well :))
Hey sister!!! ❤️ ALAM
Wait but why aren’t you living in the house since you’re still in college?
Seniors typically move out of the sorority house to make room for the new members and juniors!! But people can stay in they'd like!
Aaah that makes sense!! Thanks for the insight! I’m in an online sorority so we do things differently haha
@@egirl371 you're so welcome!!!
That house is huge!!! It didn’t look that big on the outside lol
It definitely hides its size hahaha.
Marissa Nicole yes it does lol 😄
Your house is so beautiful 💕💕
thank you so much!!! 💕
It is so cuteeeee :)
thank you so much!!!
aw omg lol :) i go to osu but im in alumnae scholarship housing! its super fun
Oooh!! How is that housing?! I've never been there!
Just curious but I can't see any people of color in the pictures
I really didn't show you any pictures lol. I was walking past them pretty quickly. But all of our composites feature women of color in them.
I loooove your intro
omg thank you so much!
Why don’t you live there anymore?
Because I'm going into my senior year and our new mems always want to live in so usually we leave to make room for new people :)
