when the fraterities would come serenading.
singing songs at dinner.
always having someone to hang out with.
watching "the wizard of oz" with all the other house sisters crammed into our lanai-where the house t.v. was.
finding interesting and unexpected things on our sun deck-from boys trying to "raid" the house, to the head of the roasted pig from fiji islander.

-Saturday and Sunday morning brunch, where you could bring your boyfriend over and our cook made breakfast to order (along with a lot of commentary over the previous night's events).
-Never having to bundle up to go to Formal Dinner or Chapter
-Fraternity serenades
-Afternoon naps in the rack room (cold dorm) where it's quiet 24 hours a day.
-All the crazy pranks, inside jokes, and more that come from living with a group for so long.
-Always having someone to talk to, spend time with, or even run to Walmart with at 3 am.

Ohhhh almost forgot my favorite...when you have a date with a crush and all your sisters are running around helping you get ready and giving you advice...then when you get back everybody is camped out waiting for the scoop! So fun.

*Sitting in the kitchen after a night out, raiding the fridge for bagels and slices of cheese to put in the toaster, and gossiping about everyone's night
*Living with my big sis for 2 years, who ended up being the BEST roommate EVER
*Living across the hall from my grandbig sophomore year. That girl was a trip!
*If you didn't have something to wear, there was always someone who did
* 2nd floor vs 3rd floor battles
*fighting over whether to watch Dawsons Creek or 90210 in the TV room (yikes dating myself much)
*fraternity serenades
*getting ready with everyone for dated party/formal
*getting made fun of for singing Coldplay's "Yellow" in the shower every morning
*practicing serenading songs in the shower mornings during serenading season (yes, the words were laminated and in the shower stalls LOL)
*The PRANKS.................OMG we had so many. For some reason, our house were HUGE prank callers. I miss the 2AM prank call a thons SO much. Then there was the night sophomore year where 2 sisters who were roomies were gone at a fraternity dated party. We swapped EVERYTHING in their room while they were gone. Their beds, all the stuff on their desks, their posters, their closets, their dressers, EVERYTHING. It was awesome. Shouldve been up that night studying, but hey, we all get distracted. Then the last night in the house sophomore year. The few of us still there played Ouija board, read eachothers Tarot cards (LOL) and then decided to do dares. It turned into a night of TOTAL randomness. We found this UGLY yellow armchair next to the dumpster behind the house. We lugged it to the corner of Knox and set it down in front of Smoothie King and dared a sister to get on it and dance. And this was PRIME bar hour......LOL amazing. Then we left the chair on the front door of one of the fraternities, knocked and ran. Later, we ended up at the crush of one of our sister's off campus house, and in true Mary Katherine Gallagher style, wished them the best of luck in finals a la Superstar...................and papas fritas...........(inside joke LOL).....which brings me to...........................
* The inside jokes...................OMG there were so many that are unforgettable
Living in the house helped me create some of the best memories of my life. I lived in for 3 years and don't regret one single day of it!

*Watching Greys, Project Runway, Top Model, and such in the TV room.
*SERENADES. Sometimes they were a surprise and you didn't get to see them if you didn't live in unless you just happened to be there.
*Getting to be there when girls would go on first dates and getting all of the details. My roommate went on her first date with her now husband when we were living together in the house, and we were being so ridiculous when he came to pick her up, and like 2 of us camped out in the lounge til she got back so we could see how it went.

Sitting in the porch swing at 2 am, talking with a couple of brothers.
Climbing out on the roof to hang out.
Trying to figure out why Jim and Eric's room smelled so bad.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the pranks! Again, in an all sorority suite style dorm, My roommate and I would sneak into our suite-mates room, steal all of her underwear and freeze it in her refrigerator. She would then wonder aloud to us why all of her panties were missing and complain that she had to do laundry every three days.

I lived in the house for 3.5 years - from second semester freshman year until I graduated senior year.
- getting ready to go out - sitting on the floor to do makeup in the mirror in the hallway and listening to music blasting from someones' room
- waking up around 11 on Saturdays and Sundays and going down to the kitchen for some hangover food and a big mug of ice water and hearing about everyone's night
- Taking the Ouija board from room 14 and trying to contact Annie, the house ghost
- Coming in at 2 am from going out and ordering Pokey Stix or Jimmy Johns. Or, if we were in Campustown, eating a gyro, and hanging with everyone else coming home at that time
- Smokers socials - you always knew there was someone to go outside with you
- Crowding 20+ girls into the [small] tv room to watch Friends on a Thursday night (yes, I'm old)
- Serenades! Both giving them and receiving them
- Friday lunches of grilled cheese, tomato soup and brownies - especially during the winter
- The waiters!
It wasn't always perfect - I had pleny of hard times living in the house, too, but the good memories definitely outweigh the bad. I wish I would have appreciated it more when I was there.

Oh my goodness, Pokey Stix! I just moved, and there's not a Gumby's anywhere around here at all! (sorry for the hijack)

- having a bike in the tree in the front lawn
- having pizza/delivery people know exactly who/where I am
- trading insults/compliments with room mates
- having pledges do the dishes/bathroom cleaning
- playing horse shoes while drinking cheap beer
- first hand account/view/heads up on things in the chapter (houses at my alma mater were just regular four-bedroom houses)
- the friendly spider who lived there
- not really doing anything in order to have a ton of people show up
- when my room mate tried to make pasta without water and it set off the smoke detectors and then we found him passed out in the bathroom
