Speaker 2: Fessler here with another episode of Dirty Rush, and today

5
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 2: we are going to answer the question that we are

6
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 2: constantly asked, what is it like to live in a

7
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 2: sorority house? And to help us with that, we are

8
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 2: bringing in two of our producers, Heather and Amy and

9
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 2: our friend Nicki.

10
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 3: Hi, guys, Hi, Hi, Hi, Hi Jen.

11
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 4: I agree with you. That is the number one question

12
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 4: people ask them of what is it like living in

13
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 4: a sorority?

14
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,959
Speaker 2: That is our number one question? Is absolutely true, So

15
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 2: let's answer the question as best as we can. You, guys, Amy,

16
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 2: I mean, tell me some of your thoughts here.

17
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 4: So I think we had NICKI and I were in

18
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 4: the sorority together. So I think we probably had one

19
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 4: hundred people living in How many people live in your house?

20
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 4: You know, not that many one time.

21
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 2: Not as many. So it was you know, like I'm

22
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 2: sure like you guys, it was divided up. So I

23
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 2: lived in my house my junior year, but I that

24
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 2: was when so I had pledged lates. I had transferred

25
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 2: to University of Texas. So I was living with girls

26
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 2: that were younger than me, and I would say there

27
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 2: was probably fifty of us living in the house.

28
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 4: So and NICKI can attest to this. One of the

29
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 4: like things that people really noticed about our story was

30
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 4: that it was mostly two girl rooms because.

31
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 3: A lotled porch.

32
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 4: Right, but a lot of people are turned off by

33
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 4: that pledge porch, don't you think, Nikki?

34
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 3: It was? It was awful.

35
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 2: I don't even know what is a pledge porch? Wait,

36
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 2: you guys, what's a pledge porch? I don't remember.

37
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,839
Speaker 3: It's like eight beds or Piey's was worse. Pie Fy's

38
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 3: was like one day room. We had what six.

39
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 4: Or six people, and you get you get sort of

40
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 4: like your own little alcove, and then you get a closet.

41
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 4: But the thing people don't like about other stories is

42
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 4: that you keep your stuff in one room and then

43
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 4: like thirty girls sleep in what is like a I

44
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 4: don't even know. We didn't have them, so I don't.

45
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,239
Speaker 2: Know if it's called such a bunk at camp.

46
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 4: Yes, and it's all beds. I think it's always ever.

47
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,679
Speaker 5: Handmaid's Tale, Did you guys watch Handmaid's Tail? It was

48
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 5: literally look like Handmaid's Tale. That's just that's the vision

49
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 5: right there.

50
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 4: You know a lot of stories have it where you

51
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 4: sleep in this room and it's all beds, bunk beds,

52
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 4: and you're sleeping in bunk beds and it's dark. I

53
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 4: think they keep it kind of cold in there, so

54
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 4: it's only for sleeping, no desks.

55
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 2: You guys had never heard of this. Did other houses

56
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 2: have that on your campus?

57
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 5: Yes, PIPI had like twenty of them, twenty beds in

58
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 5: one room.

59
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 4: And I think people also sort of sometimes like, look,

60
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 4: this is a you know, a lucky thing to be

61
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 4: able to say, but there were people that would go

62
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 4: down to two top houses and they would pick the

63
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 4: one that they didn't have to sleep in that.

64
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 3: Are you sure?

65
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 5: I don't remember even touring the play what we were

66
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 5: not in the same sorority, because I don't remember that

67
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 5: at all.

68
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 4: No, we didn't have it. People didn't do PIPEI because

69
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 4: of yeah, we.

70
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 3: Didn't tour rooms, Amy jury.

71
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 4: You do, Yes, you do. We showed off our two

72
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 4: girlrooms because it was a real way to get people

73
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 4: into our sorority.

74
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 5: Right, let me tell you, it was a real way

75
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 5: not to have gotten me in that sorority.

76
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 3: Okay, I've never recovered.

77
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 5: The communal showers with everybody's hair is like I've never

78
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 5: recovered from It's my biggest OCD triggering thing is the hair.

79
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 6: Sorry non sorority girl jumping in here for a question

80
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 6: about bathrooms.

81
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 7: I gotta know.

82
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 6: First of all, we're talking about all the girls sleeping

83
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 6: in one bedroom. I have other questions about that bathroom.

84
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 6: Who's on shower duty? How many toilets are in this house?

85
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 4: There's multiple bathrooms, but you'd have like six or seven

86
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 4: toilets just lined up like a public bathroom toilet.

87
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 3: No, you have doors? You had it's doors, yeah, yeah.

88
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 2: We also we had a housekeeper, so do we Yeah, we.

89
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 4: Had many, So you don't. Nobody's cleaning the showers. Nobody's

90
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 4: cleaning the toilets. That's living in the house. But our

91
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 4: showers had individual stalls. Like sometimes I think people picture

92
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 4: it like a locker room or something where you're just

93
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 4: like making next for somebody.

94
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 3: And the shower curtains.

95
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 6: Can I just say that I wasn't picturing it like

96
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 6: a locker room. I was picturing it like a house

97
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 6: with like one toilet per bathroom.

98
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 2: No, but it was our mind was it was like

99
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 2: a house. I mean, we didn't have any there was nobody.

100
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 2: There was fifteen girls congregating in one room in bunk beds.

101
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 2: We each got a room and they were doubles. And

102
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 2: it was actually very nice. I mean I compare it

103
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 2: to like my freshman year when I was in a dorm,

104
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 2: and this was way nicer, more homey. It was a

105
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 2: really pretty house. The food was really good. Yeah yeah,

106
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 2: I mean, and I remember, and there was just a

107
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 2: lot of you know, communal areas and the study room.

108
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 2: It was nice. I didn't. I enjoyed it well.

109
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 4: With your bathroom situation.

110
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 2: Same thing, same thing, like stall stall stall, but nothing

111
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 2: that was like.

112
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 4: Now, what's interesting is we sort of had like glass

113
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 4: between the showers, so you could fuzzy glass so you

114
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 4: could see sort of like if Nicky was next to me,

115
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 4: I would know, I'd be like, hey, nick, like what's

116
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 4: going on. They have since changed it, Niki, and they

117
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 4: made it like marble and you can't see into the

118
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 4: next shower.

119
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 3: I saw it.

120
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 5: Remember we went to a game two years ago and

121
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 5: we went into the house and I remember a lot

122
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 5: of it was still the same thoay, mey. I mean

123
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 5: it was a lipstick on a pig. I mean that

124
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 5: was not a full page one remodel.

125
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 4: So Nicky and I are both fifty. So this is

126
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 4: thirty years ago. And the dressers where you put your

127
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 4: clothes are the same. They have not changed the dressers,

128
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 4: They've not changed the backs of the beds, but they

129
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 4: changed the floors. Oh, the closets exactly the same. So

130
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 4: we had two girls the majority two girls, some four girls,

131
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 4: and then the pledge which I lived on the pledge

132
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 4: porch and I found it fine.

133
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 7: I have more questions about the pledge porch.

134
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 6: Okay, So first of all, we're talking about ten plus

135
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 6: girls all being in there. Is it lights off at

136
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 6: the exact same time every What if you have somebody

137
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 6: on the pledge porch who talks in their sleep? What

138
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 6: if they want to read in their bed? I mean fine,

139
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 6: what if they want to do other things?

140
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 5: Good point, because there were no iPhones or there was

141
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 5: no kindles or anything.

142
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 3: It was books with like a little night light on your.

143
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 7: That would seem annoying.

144
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 4: But I always had a TV. I always had a

145
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 4: TV in a DVD or VCR, whatever it was. That's

146
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 4: back in the you know, nineties, So I would watch

147
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 4: TV and I didn't have headphones.

148
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 2: We didn't have any We didn't have a pledge porch.

149
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 2: I mean, you guys reminded me of Sleepway camp. We

150
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 2: didn't have any of that. But I could tell you

151
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 2: that my daughter in her house, she thanked God because

152
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 2: she almost didn't want to pledge her sorry, because she

153
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 2: was going to have to live in the house and

154
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 2: she'd heard to night stories. We tried to get her

155
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 2: out of it because she has Type on diabetes. Who

156
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 2: tried to pull that card? We couldn't, but she ended

157
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 2: up getting a single. But some of the rooms, like

158
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 2: the triples, they were so tight. There was absolutely nowhere

159
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 2: to put anything. And I remember like being amazed that

160
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 2: these girls could even survive. I can't imagine a pledge porch.

161
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 7: What if you're sick in that pledge porch?

162
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 5: Your shower, Caddy, You're a little shower Caddie.

163
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 4: You know what's so funny? Because Heather, I think we were.

164
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 4: I don't remember who I was talking to about this yesterday,

165
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 4: but I was preparing for this show trying to remember.

166
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 4: It's two things I do not remember, and I'm going

167
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 4: to tell you I don't remember ever getting sick, even

168
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 4: though I was basically living in a petri dish filled

169
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 4: with people. I don't remember ever like throwing up, getting

170
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 4: a cold, nothing, And I truly this is gross. Sorry, guys,

171
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 4: this is gross. I don't remember doing anything other than

172
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 4: number one. Obviously I did because I lived there for

173
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 4: three years. But I have no men of being like

174
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 4: I had to poop next to somebody.

175
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 7: Maybe you did it outside the house.

176
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 4: Well, so that's an interesting point, Nikki. There are two

177
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 4: guest bathrooms in our authorty that were individual and I

178
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 4: do think on Gaily Nicky people went down and like

179
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 4: went in that.

180
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 5: So the one by the little den, that one, and

181
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 5: then where was the where was the other down there's

182
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 5: third floor.

183
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 4: There was one on the third floor down at the

184
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 4: very very end of the gaily hallway, like if you

185
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 4: were at the President's room and one of someone might

186
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 4: have had a weird bathtub. I can't quite remember.

187
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 6: I'm trying to think of all things I've experienced with roommates.

188
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 6: Were you allowed to smoke? Were you allowed to burn?

189
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: No?

190
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 4: You probably no. I don't know.

191
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 3: No candles anything.

192
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 2: With my boys, there's definitely no boys.

193
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:53,319
Speaker 6: No candles and no incense and a bunch of young

194
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 6: women all crammed into a space.

195
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 7: How are we making itsell nice in there?

196
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 4: I couldn't say.

197
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 5: Not.

198
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 2: In the bedrooms. We could have boys in the bedrooms.

199
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, we could have boys in the bedrooms till ten.

200
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 2: O'clock, even in the whatever room in the in your bedroom,

201
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,839
Speaker 2: yeah no, but I mean the one with the eighteen beds,

202
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 2: yeah yeahom yeah.

203
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 4: Nobody was doing funny business. I never experienced that. And

204
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 4: the other thing, Nikki is I don't remember people being

205
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 4: naked like people always like and you just stand around naked,

206
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 4: and I'm.

207
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 3: Like, no, no.

208
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 5: I remember getting in the shower really quickly and putting

209
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 5: my towel on and like jumping in and all of

210
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 5: that stuff.

211
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 3: You know.

212
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 5: What I do remember that was interesting, is like I

213
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 5: just think I was actually thinking that, like, how did

214
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 5: we all decide who were we going to be roommates with?

215
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 5: I think the girls were nicer back then. I think

216
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 5: it was just there was not mean girls at least.

217
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 3: I don't remember.

218
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 4: When we were like house manager and it was very easy.

219
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 4: People totally knew who their roommates were going to be,

220
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 4: and then where your room was was based on points,

221
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 4: so obviously the third floor was better than the second floor,

222
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 4: and daily was better than the main two hallways, and

223
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 4: so seniors had more points, so they started to get

224
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 4: the better room.

225
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 2: I remember not my roommate not being happy with me.

226
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,599
Speaker 2: We were friends, we picked each other, and I was

227
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 2: a dirty slob and just just horrible.

228
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 6: Okay, this goes to my other question. You said nobody

229
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 6: was cleaning up the bathrooms. Who like, what if you

230
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 6: go in and your roommate has.

231
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 7: Her clothes everywhere or what happens?

232
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 2: Then you fight? I mean, for me, we fought, and

233
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 2: I was really embarrassed by it, and I was just

234
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 2: at the point in my life where I just couldn't

235
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,439
Speaker 2: get it together. I just was a slob.

236
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 7: Does the house person do your laundry too?

237
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 4: No? No, no, you have to do.

238
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 6: I mean, you're the website that you didn't have to

239
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 6: clean the bathrooms.

240
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 2: I'm done.

241
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 4: One time Nicky wasn't there. But one time that there

242
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 4: was like a weekend and only a few of us

243
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 4: were there. Everybody went home for some reason and the

244
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 4: furnace exploded and we all thought we were It was

245
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 4: so gnarly, like I remember being like I think like

246
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 4: something really like we're all going to die. But it

247
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 4: was just the furnace. I never had a messy roommate.

248
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 4: I don't think I was messy. Nikki, did you did

249
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 4: you have someone messy?

250
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 3: Well?

251
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 5: I think there was only one or two washer dryers,

252
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 5: And I actually remember having to sit down there.

253
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,959
Speaker 4: With quarters, right, I think we had quarters.

254
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 3: They didn't let us use it for free. We did quarters.

255
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, And also we had Alsa units. Do you guys

256
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 4: know what that is?

257
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 5: That was very big Elsa They still have Elpa's at

258
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 5: Container store.

259
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 8: Yeah.

260
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 4: So they were like in your closet, you'd hang some

261
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 4: of your clothes and then you would have these like

262
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 4: Elsa units, which were like drawers, but they were like

263
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 4: wire and you'd literally get like lines in your underwear.

264
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 4: But whatever, you didn't care. And then we had a dresser.

265
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 4: I mean it was tight, but I don't remember it

266
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 4: being like a problem.

267
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 3: I loved living in the sorority.

268
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 5: And now that I'm you know, obviously divorced and you know,

269
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 5: almost fifty four and spend so much time with my

270
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:02,199
Speaker 5: friends who are also divorced or getting divorced, we all

271
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 5: talk about living together again number one day and having

272
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 5: like a modern version of austrority.

273
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 3: And if you actually it's all over TikTok.

274
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 5: These groups of friends that are buying homes are into communities.

275
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 5: And I have to tell you agree, I loved every

276
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 5: second of it. And when I go on girls trips

277
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 5: with my friends, we share rooms, whereas all the guys

278
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 5: will go on a trip they want their own room.

279
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 2: My friends, I talk about down the road, we're going

280
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:28,599
Speaker 2: to get houses all next to each other in a

281
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 2: tidy little community, and we're going to spend the whole

282
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 2: day we when to meet it drinking and I don't know,

283
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 2: play mob whatever, just live our lives. Yeah, but not

284
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 2: the same room.

285
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 4: No way that I could live in a big house

286
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 4: like a mansion, because these sorties are basically mansions, right,

287
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:45,839
Speaker 4: And it was going to have I was going to

288
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 4: have my room and all my meals would be served,

289
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 4: and I'd have all my friends there, and this giant

290
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 4: TV room and this giant living room and this giant

291
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 4: kitchen and dining room, and I'd have a chef for

292
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:01,719
Speaker 4: all three meals. I'd have someone cleaning every day. All

293
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 4: I have to do is basically like make my bed.

294
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 2: That's called assisted living. My in laws. If you go

295
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 2: down the road, that is the way that there. If

296
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 2: that's what you want, there's a place down the road

297
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 2: called the Bristol I get. Definitely.

298
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 4: Maybe maybe we all live in authroorties when we're twenty,

299
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 4: and then we all live them and again when we're eighty.

300
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 2: I don't know I what it is.

Speaker 3: We're gonna do. I talk about it all.

302
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 5: I talked about any other thing we used to do,

303
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 5: because when I was in college, it was the height of.

304
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 3: Beverly Hills nine o two one zero and Melrose Place and.

305
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,400

306
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,199
Speaker 2: the best, and we would all watch it.

307
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 5: We have our yogurt park, and it was like the

308
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 5: guys knew not to call and it was like such

309
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 5: a fun thing to do.

310
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 2: General Hospital, like during the day you were like one

311
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 2: days of our lives.

00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:50,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, the amount of gummy bears, gummy worms.

313
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 3: Sour patch kids.

314
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 4: When it was Burrito Bar, everybody lost their minds. They

315
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 4: were so stoked. They were like, it's Burrito Bar and

316
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 4: it basically is just like imagine Chipotle in.

317
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: Your right.

318
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 4: Gourmet Chipotle course, and you're just like, what I mean.

319
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 4: I did not appreciate it nearly enough. And we had breakfast.

320
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,959
Speaker 4: A lot of sorties don't have breakfast anymore, but we

321
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 4: had like breakfast right and I couldn't. It ended at

322
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 4: nine and I was so tired. I couldn't make it

323
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 4: down in time.

324
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 3: So I was always like there was.

325
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 2: Always stuff there. There was always like cinnamon buns. We

326
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 2: had like a warmer where you could always grab like

327
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 2: if you were if it was too late, like cinnamon buns,

328
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 2: or there was like underneath there was always like granola

329
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 2: or whatever. There was always stuff waiting, all brand cereal.

330
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 3: I remember. I remember we at least I'm older than Amy.

331
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 3: Amy was in the same year as my sister. But

332
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 3: my group of friends, we would do so many pranks to.

333
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 5: Each other, so like we would short sheet the beds,

334
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 5: or we would pour water. What they would like to

335
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 5: do to me is they went around to every hair

336
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 5: brush in the sorority. And I got in bed one

337
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 5: night and the hair was all over my beautiful white sheet.

338
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 5: I literally and then I used to I was really

339
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 5: into these hunter green cowboy half boots like I was

340
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 5: known for it. I wore them and I got dressed

341
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 5: the next morning no thinking, and I put my foot

342
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 5: in it and it was like a puff of hair.

343
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 5: I mean it was like constant jokes to each other.

344
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 8: Yeah.

345
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 4: See, we didn't do any of that. I remember just

346
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 4: learning how to put popcorn kernels in a brown lunch

347
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 4: sack and pop it in the microwave and then you

348
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 4: got popcorn and you just put some salt on that

349
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 4: and you'd have a bag of popcorn.

350
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 2: For those shows, someone was always on some kind of

351
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 2: a weird diet. I remember there was always weird stuff

352
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 2: like that going on everybody.

353
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 4: We need to do a whole episode about the weird

354
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 4: diet because.

355
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 5: People were throwing up in our bathrooms a lot. And

356
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 5: I always had the same lunch, which was and they

357
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 5: would tease me.

358
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 4: I come in.

359
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 5: I put broccoli, kidney beans, jon mustard, and bald on

360
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 5: ic vinegar like a psycho.

361
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 3: So that's sad.

362
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 2: There was a lot of that. Then we'd all go

363
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 2: to jazz or Size together. Jazz house was big then.

364
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 2: I don't know if you guys had that bike, but we.

365
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 4: Did not do JAZZI I don't remember anyone working out

366
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 4: whatsoever at all.

367
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, we do a lot of jazz Size.

368
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 3: I think we did.

369
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 5: People blasted like Sarah McLachlan and Metallica and Pearl Jam

370
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 5: And then we had a roof on the top where

371
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 5: people would lay out and they would like ditch class

372
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 5: and we would all be like frying ourselves from the rooftop.

373
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 3: It was can I say something. I loved every second

374
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 3: of it, absolutely, and.

375
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 5: We were friends with people of different Everyone was friends,

376
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 5: and it didn't matter if you were a senior or

377
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 5: a sophomore.

378
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 4: I would move back in to day if you've got

379
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 4: all those people that I live there with, you, Angie, Natalie,

380
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 4: like pige all our.

381
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 3: Friends, Natalie or Junie.

382
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 2: Today it was the best. I have to say you, guys,

383
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 2: I did not have. Clearly I did not have as

384
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 2: good of experience as you because I would not go

385
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 2: back in today, tomorrow, next week, next year, no way.

386
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 2: And it was great and I loved it, but I

387
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 2: don't know, I mean, I don't know that I'd be

388
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 2: made for that.

389
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 4: Now I hear about people wanting to move out and

390
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 4: they don't want to live their senior year. They're getting

391
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 4: these apartments. I'm like, what are you doing? The sorority

392
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 4: is the greatest invention of all time. It is the

393
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 4: easiest life like you literally did not have to do

394
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 4: anything if.

395
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 5: You're a girl's girl, right, Like, I think for some

396
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 5: people it would be very sensory, overloads, super triggering to

397
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 5: be around so many girls, and girls can be tough,

398
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 5: so I think not everybody would subscribe to that kind

399
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 5: of a living situation.

400
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 3: It could be overwhelming.

401
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 2: It's not funny like you, guys. I don't remember like

402
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 2: a lot of the girls fighting though. I don't remember

403
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 2: fighting with anyone except I don't either. That was such

404
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 2: a pig. But I really don't.

405
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 3: Are you friends with her still, Jennifer?

406
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 2: No, I know, I haven't talked to her in years.

407
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 2: But we were. We were again, they were younger than

408
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 2: I was, right, but it was a requirement to live

409
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 2: in the house, so you transferred, right. So I was

410
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,199
Speaker 2: living with girls that were younger. And she's a very

411
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 2: nice girl. I remember, like, very very smart, very studious,

412
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 2: very together, and I was just a hot mess. And

413
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,439
Speaker 2: so but we were still. I mean, we loved each other.

414
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 2: I remember that we laughed a lot, but it was

415
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 2: not I mean, we're not. We don't know each other now.

416
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 5: It's funny like Amy, I would say, Amy, probably more

417
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 5: than anybody has kept in touch with many many people.

418
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 3: In that chapter.

419
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 9: I think that if you gave me one hour, I

420
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 9: could probably reach one hundred kappas.

421
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 7: I think in one hour.

422
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 9: If you gave me one hour and I'd have to

423
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 9: do anything else but just get a text trail going,

424
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 9: I think I could get a hundred.

425
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 2: That should be an episode. We should actually watch that.

426
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 2: How we should set the timer for one hour and

427
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 2: see what happens.

428
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 9: I'm probably of fifty in my phone right now. I

429
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 9: just really thrived in that environment. I just you know,

430
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 9: I think, I mean, look, it wasn't all unicorns and rainbows.

431
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 9: There's little things that like some boy makes you cry,

432
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 9: or you know, somebody gets mad that you kiss their

433
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 9: ex boyfriend or whatever that can happen.

434
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 3: In every chapter.

435
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 5: I think what I've taught my kids too is like

436
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 5: for not every chapter is the best chapter, right, and

437
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 5: life is long. Like I would say, for me, high

438
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 5: school was my peaking moment. For sure, college was good,

439
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 5: but I would say high school for me is kind

440
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 5: of like your experience, Amy.

441
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 3: I mean I liked college.

442
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like what you're describing, Amy. I got

443
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 2: at like Sleepowoy Camp. That was my home away from homegrowning.

444
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 9: Yeah, everybody has their thing. Well, Jen, I know you

445
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 9: have a lot of people to talk to, but I

446
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 9: think we definitely need to like do part one, two, three,

447
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 9: and four because I feel like people are fascinated by

448
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 9: the whole thing.

449
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, and we're gonna have to take an

450
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 2: hour and just see how many of your sisters.

451
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 9: Oh, well, i'd be I want to throw a party,

452
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 9: so this can be a challenge where I can invite

453
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 9: one hundred kappas to a party and see if I.

454
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 2: Come to it so far hour and then we'll do it.

455
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 2: We'll do a podcast live live.

456
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 10: I love that idea.

457
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 3: It was so funny.

458
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 2: You guys, well, thank you for sharing. I appreciate you both.

459
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 5: And Jen, you want to live in our sorority with

460
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 5: us in a few years were really fun.

461
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,439
Speaker 2: Nope, I am unlike you guys. I am not interested

462
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 2: in going back to a sorority house. I had a blast,

463
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 2: I loved it. I just know I can't share a room.

464
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 2: I could barely share room with my f and husband,

465
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 2: So no, there'll be none of that.

466
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 5: By the way, one last note, can you imagine a

467
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 5: soarty house today with like the bow to the modern

468
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 5: swarty house, like the bow Ties and the manicurist at

469
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 5: the house and people with the I mean, it would

470
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 5: be a whole different thing.

471
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 2: I can't because my daughter graduated two years ago, and

472
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,679
Speaker 2: so it was very different than what I had experienced.

473
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 2: Having said that, it was definitely her best year of college.

474
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 5: Amy, I have one memory now because when I talk

475
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:54,239
Speaker 5: to them, but this is so now, I'm remembering, Oh

476
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 5: my god, this is horrible.

477
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 3: So I was living one year with I was living

478
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 3: with Susan. I was living with Don and Tracy.

479
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 9: Okay, so that would be like a four girl Gaily

480
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 9: got it, or but like one.

481
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 3: Of the better rooms, okay.

482
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 5: And all of a sudden, I was like, I think

483
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 5: I had the first yeast infection I'd ever had, and

484
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 5: I did not.

485
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 3: Know what it was, and I literally thought I was dying.

486
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 5: When I tell you the laughter with them with me

487
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 5: and them calling my mom and laughing they had to

488
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 5: take me to urgent care, and the jokes about my

489
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 5: east infection.

490
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 3: Oh, Nikki, are you making bread right now?

491
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,360
Speaker 5: Do you want some bread for dinner? That's my one

492
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 5: thing I remember that where they did that, that was crazy.

493
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, everybody's there to help.

494
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 4: Everybody's there to help.

495
00:21:41,960 --> 00:22:00,679
Speaker 2: Love you guys. Bye, okay, you guys. So now joining us,

496
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 2: we have Emma, Candice and Caitlin, and these ladies all

497
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 2: live in the same house and one of them, Emma,

498
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 2: is the house manager. So, you guys, our listeners are

499
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 2: dying to hear about the experience that you're having. Maybe

500
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 2: we could start with you, Emma, what is it like

501
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 2: to be a house manager? Is it a ball? It

502
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 2: feels to me like it would be a mixed bag. Sometimes,

503
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 2: you know, really fun. These are your friends. Sometimes maybe

504
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 2: harder because you are also there to enforce the rules.

505
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 2: Tell us a little bit about that.

506
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's definitely a hectic job. I feel like we've

507
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 11: kind of got a lot going on. It's a big house.

508
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 11: At the end of the day, the girls are all

509
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 11: my good friends, and I'm lucky enough to live in

510
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,120
Speaker 11: a house where we actually like each other, so there's

511
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 11: not too much drama. But we are also college students,

512
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 11: so there's a lot of alcohol and boys sneaking in

513
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 11: and people maybe not following the rules. So like, yes,

514
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 11: it's great in terms of like cattiness that doesn't quite

515
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 11: exist in our own house, but there is a lot

516
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 11: of Hey, maybe don't puke on our carpets and that

517
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 11: kind of stuff.

518
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 2: Why well, Emma, why did you decide that you wanted

519
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 2: to be the house manager.

520
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 11: Honestly, our house was kind of ugly, and I knew

521
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 11: that I could maybe work to renovate some of it.

522
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 11: So actually this past year I got a budget of

523
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 11: about sixty five thousand dollars and we renovated our entire

524
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 11: downstairs get out. Yes, so that primarily just because it

525
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 11: was ugly and I wanted it to look better. But

526
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 11: in the meantime, I've kind of come to enjoy the

527
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,400
Speaker 11: actual like management role.

528
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 2: Really, Okay, that's so cool. So okay, what kinde of

529
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 2: house manager is Emma handis?

530
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 8: I would say that she is very good at her job.

531
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 8: I would also say that she and I kind of

532
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 8: co manage a lot of things, and we are definitely

533
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 8: the most vocal voices in our group. Me just because

534
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 8: when we do have a renovated house and things are

535
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 8: so nice, you do have to remind people of certain rules.

536
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 12: And in our chapter, we have some issues.

537
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 8: We've had people throw up in the sinks, We've had

538
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 8: people throw up on carpets and couches, We've had people

539
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 8: have their friends sleep in the fire escape and there

540
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 8: was this whole room or going around that we had

541
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 8: like some sort of squatter. So we have had a

542
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 8: lot of things happen that we're definitely against the rules.

543
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 8: But I would say that Emma's really good at her job.

544
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 2: What is the most fun thing having the keys?

545
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 11: Yeah, so I have like a big, huge thing of keys.

546
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 11: It has keys to every single door in the house,

547
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 11: the basement, the attic, all the things. I feel like

548
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 11: it's most fun because whenever she goes down, like I'm

549
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 11: the first to know, just because me or like our president,

550
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 11: because people you will usually text me like, hey, I

551
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 11: don't know if you noticed, but there's yack in the drains,

552
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 11: or I don't know if you knew, but there's someone

553
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:07,679
Speaker 11: smoking meth on our porch.

554
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't know what's going on with ladies, with

555
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 2: your sorority. I'm getting a little concerned. I don't know

556
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 2: if I should talk to you. Emma's the house manager.

557
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 2: Is there a mother? There is there somebody. I guess

558
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 2: we have a house mother. You do yes so much

559
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 2: with the meth ladies.

560
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:26,199
Speaker 3: It wasn't us.

561
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 10: It was a homeless person.

562
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 2: I'm very glad to hear that. Caitlin. What do you

563
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 2: love about living in the house.

564
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 13: I love that there's never a dull moment, As you've

565
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 13: already started to hear, there's always math, lots going on

566
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 13: exactly exactly. You really never know what you're gonna find

567
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 13: when you walk outside of our sorority house or walk inside.

568
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 13: I also like that we have sixty five closets at

569
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 13: all times, and there's so many people you can go

570
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 13: and talk to for different things, and it's been so

571
00:25:58,400 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 13: much fun.

572
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 10: But I'm all so excited to get out and not

573
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 10: have to deal with the chaos.

574
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 2: So how is it? How is your How is your

575
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 2: house formated? Like for me when I lived in my house,

576
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 2: it was they were just two to a room period.

577
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 2: Do you guys have what's your situation? We? Do you

578
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 2: have singles? Do you have triples?

579
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 13: We have singles. We have a ten girl room. Actually

580
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 13: Candice and I have two out of the three singles.

581
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 13: The third one belongs to the president. But we have

582
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 13: rooms that have ten girls in them. Eight What is

583
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 13: that called the porch?

584
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 2: Okay? So yeah, I was just I we didn't have

585
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 2: that in my house. Do the girls like living there.

586
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 13: So actually a lot of times the girls end up

587
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 13: living there because they have the least amount of house

588
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 13: points and they're not really choosing to live there, And

589
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 13: a lot of times they're not even really friends with

590
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 13: the other people who are picked in that pick to

591
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 13: be in that room with them. But our year, actually

592
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 13: the girls who got chosen to be in that room

593
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 13: are sophomore freshmen, are sophomore fall semester. Actually opted to

594
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 13: be in there again their spring semester, even though there

595
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 13: were so many empty rooms, just because of how much

596
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 13: I loved it and how much they became such a

597
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 13: tight knit friend group.

598
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 10: So people really good.

599
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 2: I love that. That's very cool. So all right, so

600
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 2: tell me, I'm gonna say, Candice, Okay, tell me for you.

601
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 2: What is the best and worst thing about living in

602
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 2: the house.

603
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 8: I would say best part, I agree with Caitlin, getting

604
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 8: to be close to everyone. Everyone is borrowing closed for

605
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 8: a game day or to go out, and it's very

606
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 8: like a great sense of community. I would say the

607
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 8: worst thing is a lot of people. Obviously it's a

608
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 8: very shared space and a lot of people don't have

609
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,159
Speaker 8: I don't want to say, like the decency to be

610
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 8: respectful to others, but there's a lot of people who

611
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 8: that might not be the first thing at the top

612
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 8: of their head, and so there's obviously messes throw up

613
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 8: in the same thing we mentioned earlier, but also in

614
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 8: the spring when the house was at half capacity because

615
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 8: a lot of girls go abroad, people would pick up

616
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:13,159
Speaker 8: secondary rooms. So during house picks, you could say you

617
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 8: were in a double and like live with another girl,

618
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 8: but you could also put your name on a room,

619
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 8: and people were using those rooms as like sex rooms,

620
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 8: and so each room had like a secondary room that

621
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 8: if they wanted to, their roommate could go there.

622
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 10: And Caitlyn can tell more about the story.

623
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 8: But we also had an issue with like a downstairs

624
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 8: bathroom breaking just because people were using that for different purposes.

625
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 2: I mean, you guys, I am coming back as either Emma,

626
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 2: Candice or Caitlin and living in that house because it

627
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 2: sounds like way more fun than I had at the

628
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 2: University of Texas in nineteen eighty nine. So math sex,

629
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 2: you had your own sex room, all right, So anyway,

630
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 2: but Caitlyn, okay, so Kenda said you could tell us

631
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 2: a little bit more about that.

632
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 10: Yeah, in addition to having sex rooms.

633
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 13: People also are president, not this current term, but past

634
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 13: presidents have used their rooms to sell drugs. Out of

635
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 13: what is happening, I don't really know, And it's really

636
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 13: surprising because you would think we live in a fraternity

637
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 13: like with these kinds of stories, But the girls who

638
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 13: do these things are actually like very there are friends,

639
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 13: so it's not like it's some crazy, like one off

640
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 13: in our sorority. It's just people know they can get

641
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 13: away with things. They get caught up in college in general,

642
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 13: and they know that our house mom doesn't care that

643
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 13: much and is not that great at her job, so

644
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 13: they get away with a lot.

645
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 2: Because you're just already known as like sort of the party.

646
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 13: Girls, a kind of, but not particularly more than any

647
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 13: other house. We're definitely not known as the drug house

648
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 13: compared to other sororities, although as I've said, we do

649
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 13: see drugs.

650
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, Emma, this might be a little hard for you

651
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:09,479
Speaker 2: to manage.

652
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 3: No, I mean I.

653
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,959
Speaker 11: Feel like, I mean, okay, the meth was a separate

654
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 11: situation that was like a homeless dude who was like

655
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 11: sitting on our porch and he was sitting crisscross apple

656
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 11: sauce with this like Fedora on and he's sitting there

657
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 11: with like tinfoil actively doing meth and he's like, I'm

658
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 11: gonna shower you guys. I want to wash you guys.

659
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 3: Crazy shit. So, like there's stuff like that, but I

660
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 3: don't know.

661
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 11: I feel like drinking is probably the main thing that

662
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 11: I see, just because people are off like in the house,

663
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 11: yacking everywhere and stuff like that. But I haven't had

664
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 11: to sit anyone down and talk about their drug problem

665
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 11: yet yet.

666
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 2: Wait, Candice tell us about something called the letter.

667
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 8: So I was just recalling when we had our on

668
00:30:54,480 --> 00:31:00,040
Speaker 8: housed visitor. He actually left us a letter and and

669
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 8: some of like included people's names in the letter. So

670
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 8: what Emma's saying about him saying I want to shower

671
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 8: you or whatever he was saying. He actually left us

672
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 8: a little bit of a gift that Emma actually kept

673
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 8: to herself, did not share with anyone, and she let

674
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 8: her roommate find it and then the roommate sent it

675
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 8: into the group me. But it was like this letter, Emma,

676
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 8: do you want to share more?

677
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 11: Yeah, So after this whole incident, I called the police. Meanwhile,

678
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 11: I'm like fully blacked out. It's like three in the morning,

679
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 11: I've come home from a night out and I have

680
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 11: to call the cops and be like hey, and of

681
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 11: course the cop like leaves and takes the guy with them,

682
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:39,479
Speaker 11: and she's like, have fun, but not too much fun

683
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 11: because clearly I'm drunk.

684
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 3: Anyway.

685
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 11: So the next day I come back and there's a

686
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 11: letter at the front door and anything that's addressed to

687
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 11: our sorority. I open it up. And so I opened

688
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 11: it up and it's this written out letter girls' names

689
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 11: in our house.

690
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 3: Is like I need like ten.

691
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 11: Million dollars to get to Puerto Rico. Like just gibberish,

692
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 11: all this gibberish, but I knew we're in a house

693
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 11: of dramatic twenty year old girls. Like I was like,

694
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 11: someone's gonna freak out. I'm just gonna keep this to myself.

695
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 11: I put in a plastic bag. I was like, if

696
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 11: he ever comes back, it's evidence, like whatever. My roommate

697
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 11: found it and didn't consult me, took a photo of

698
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 11: it and send it to a group chat, and all

699
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 11: of a sudden, everyone knows that I'm like shit, and

700
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 11: it had been like months since I had Like I

701
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 11: detext story one and be like hey, like it's Okay,

702
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 11: it was months ago, like he's not coming back.

703
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 3: Don't worry.

704
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 11: But then like ay had their thing, So.

705
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: I don't know.

706
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 2: All right, Okay, let's just for a moment move off

707
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 2: of the meth smoking, crazy homeless lunatic. Tell me a

708
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 2: little bit about like what's fun that I don't know,

709
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 2: Like for us at night, and we had some women

710
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 2: on just now that were talking about the olden days,

711
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 2: like the days I come from, but like sitting around

712
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 2: at night and we had like common areas and just

713
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 2: you know, everybody was obsessed or like for me, we

714
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 2: love soap operas. I don't even know if you know

715
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 2: what that is at this point, but like during the

716
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 2: day we'd all like be together watching or Beverly Hills

717
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 2: nine or two one Oho or whatever it was. Do

718
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 2: you guys have that Do you have like where we're

719
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 2: going to just like congregate and is it do you

720
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 2: have that feel to it?

721
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 3: Yeah?

722
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 11: We actually have a TV room and people watch. I

723
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 11: think it was the summer I turned pretty there was

724
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 11: a whole watch party every week. I think on Wednesday nights,

725
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 11: everyone would go sit and watch what was it Dancing.

726
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 10: With the Stars.

727
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 11: People will sit there and sometimes it's a random show

728
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 11: playing and people will just join. I've had so many

729
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 11: conversations where I'm just like, I walk by after dinner

730
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 11: and I'm like, oh, I really love that movie and

731
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 11: I'll just sit and it's the most random people that

732
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 11: I normally wouldn't though, right, And yeah, I wouldn't normally

733
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 11: like sit and spend hours with them on end, usually

734
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 11: the girls. But it's really nice to get to know people.

735
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 11: And then after I'm like, oh, now, like when I

736
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 11: see you in the halls, I know you like so much.

737
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 11: And then Candice, you were talking about something on porch.

738
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 8: Yes, we also have this outdoor porch area that leads

739
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 8: into our backyard, and we have a lot of people

740
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:55,479
Speaker 8: in our house that like to play guitar and are

741
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 8: really good at singing, so everyone love that. Yes, everyone

742
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 8: will go outside, and our house carries sound very well,

743
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 8: so you can hear people outside singing and playing instruments

744
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,720
Speaker 8: and it's so cool. It's so fun, and we definitely

745
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 8: have great sisterhood within the house despite all of the craziness.

746
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,959
Speaker 8: But I feel like the craziness is part of having

747
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 8: a great house culture and having great sisterhood.

748
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 10: So you got to give to get a little listen.

749
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 2: I am so excited for you guys that you are

750
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 2: having this great experience. I'm also a little worried for

751
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 2: the three of you, but I'm going to leave that

752
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 2: to your very capable mothers. But listen, I want you

753
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 2: to enjoy every minute, but I should be careful. Please

754
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 2: we will well, no more okay, no more mess smoking

755
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:57,280
Speaker 2: homeless people on the porch. All right, guys. So next

756
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 2: we have Emily joining us. Hi, Emily, Hi, Jennifer, how

757
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 2: are you Hi. I'm doing very well. This is a

758
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 2: very very fun episode for me. We are talking about

759
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 2: living in your sorority house. I lived about ten million

760
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 2: years ago, and we've had some ladies here telling us

761
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 2: some wild stories. But tell me a little bit about

762
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 2: your experience.

763
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 14: I went to a very big university and Greek life

764
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,359
Speaker 14: was kind of like relatively big.

765
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 10: I mean definitely can't compare anything to like the South

766
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 10: or the Midwest. But we had a lot of houses

767
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 10: on the road.

768
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 14: It was like one straight shot of all sorority houses,

769
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 14: and we basically like every house mom besides ours was.

770
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 10: Like, I don't know, sixty five years old, and.

771
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:52,439
Speaker 14: Our house mom was a ripe twenty five years old,

772
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 14: So she was basically like another member exactly, and she

773
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 14: like not only act that like it, but like let

774
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 14: us act our like to our full potential. And it

775
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 14: was like so much so that there was in this

776
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 14: I heard from other girls like there was like kind

777
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 14: of like a a thing to get her kicked off

778
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,360
Speaker 14: because she was too chill and too fun and.

779
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,240
Speaker 10: Like would let us do really?

780
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 14: I mean nothing like insane, but like other house moms

781
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 14: wouldn't like girls like even like guys weren't even allowed

782
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:26,399
Speaker 14: to the front door, you know, and our house mom

783
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 14: like didn't care who you was in the house at

784
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 14: any time, right, But yeah, she was amazing.

785
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 10: I still think about her all the day all the time.

786
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:36,919
Speaker 2: Well what year did you live in the house?

787
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 14: I lived in sophomore year, the year that like most

788
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:41,720
Speaker 14: people live in at my school.

789
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 2: Okay, And like how many girls were there?

790
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 14: I think they're probably like, oh god, like maybe like

791
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 14: fifty or sixty. I think I could be like that's

792
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:52,800
Speaker 14: kind of like a high number. But we had a

793
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 14: huge house.

794
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,800
Speaker 2: Was it a nice house? Like? Was it was it comfortable?

795
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:57,080

00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 14: How that was like literally everything It kind of just

800
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 14: felt like like it was like a It was like

801
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 14: kind of like an insane asylum, like you would walk in. No,

802
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 14: it was amazing, it was beautiful, but it was just

803
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 14: like there were like no rules kind of so like

804
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 14: we like you'd walk in this beautiful courtyard, like the

805
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 14: actual house is like in a gorgeous area and a

806
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 14: very beautiful house, and then the rooms were like you

807
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 14: could have anything from like a single to like I

808
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 14: had a like a quad and my mom used to

809
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 14: call it like the house in the air because Mike

810
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 14: I would like wake up and my head would like

811
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 14: bang against the ceiling because that's like how crazy the

812
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 14: bunk bed situation was.

813
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 2: Would you change that? Looking back, like, I know that

814
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 2: that's probably you probably dreaded it. But then some people

815
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 2: come out of that and they're like that was the

816
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 2: best situation I could have had.

817
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 10: Yeah, I feel like.

818
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 14: In the moment, even in the moment, I knew it

819
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 14: was one of those things where I was like, hey,

820
00:37:57,800 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 14: like this is the most uncomfortable I've ever been, but

821

Speaker 10: There was never ever fighting.

829
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,359
Speaker 14: That's something that I feel like a lot of people

830
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 14: that weren't in Greek life would always ask me like, oh,

831
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 14: have you fought with the girls?

832
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,800
Speaker 10: Are you catty? Like what's kind of like the vibe?

833
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 10: And yeah, I was always like, oh my gosh, like.

00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 14: like sea girls in a house. There's it's like impossible

836
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 14: to not have like zero like any drama.

837
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 2: But no, I was telling these guests before that with me,

838
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 2: I had a double and my roommate just hated me

839
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 2: because I was such a slot because yeah, and she

840
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 2: couldn't and I understand looking back now why she right.

841
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 10: But I mean I think you were just all pigs.

842
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 10: I think it was just like like honestly, to be completely.

843
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 14: Honest, like I feel like I see things all the

844
00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:59,800

845
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:01,800
Speaker 14: they have their chefs, and like we had that, but

846
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 14: we were just like a bunch of like twenty year

847
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:06,319
Speaker 14: olds just like I.

848
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:10,560

Speaker 10: you would. You would have fit right in, Like you

850
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 10: would wake up on like I don't even know, like

851
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:15,840
Speaker 10: a Saturday or a Sunday after.

852
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:17,879
Speaker 2: A night out, those sheets on the bed.

853
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:21,839
Speaker 10: Yeah, someone puked in the hallway, you know what I mean.

854
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 14: Like it was one of those things where it was like,

855
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,840
Speaker 14: oh my god, someone like definitely mixed gatorade.

856
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 3: Oh my god.

857
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:30,800
Speaker 14: We had this like like fountain drink machine and we

858
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:34,400
Speaker 14: called it the mixy machine, and it was always like you.

859
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 10: Knew someone cuked, like what machine they had used?

860
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:38,840
Speaker 1: It was really.

861
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:42,359
Speaker 10: Yeah, there was like yeah, you can still you can

862
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 10: still smell some of it.

863
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 2: Thank you, miss Emily. All Right, guys, so next we're

864
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:52,320
Speaker 2: going to talk to Mary. Mary as a very interesting

865
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 2: viewpoint on living in the house because she lived in

866
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 2: her house during COVID.

867
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 12: Hi Mary, Hi Jen, Thanks for having me on, Thank you.

868
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 2: For joining us. Tell us what it was like, and

869
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,840
Speaker 2: I honestly, I mean, my daughter couldn't even start school

870
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 2: because she was an incoming freshman and they shut it down.

871
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:13,760
Speaker 2: So I'm I'm trying to picture they even even allowing

872
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:15,400
Speaker 2: you to live in a house together during COVID.

873
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:17,760
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think it was kind of the plan.

874
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 1: When the school year started, you know, we collected all

875
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,359
Speaker 1: the points, got assigned the room before.

876
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 12: COVID, and then it hit.

877
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 1: I went to a school in Colorado, and essentially we

878
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: were all allowed to come back. And then as soon

879
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: as we were back and moved in, then we got

880
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 1: the rules in place where there was a city mandate lockdown,

881
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,359
Speaker 1: then there was a state mandate lockdown, and then there

882
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 1: was a school lockdown, and then there was a sorority

883
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: lockdown where fifty percent of the girls in my sorority

884
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 1: got COVID and we had a an anex house that

885
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 1: is where.

886
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 12: You're like banished to yeah, and you couldn't leave.

887
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 1: There was a balcony and I wasn't a part of

888
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 1: that group, but it was just like a sick house

889
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 1: where everyone was just living on top of each other

890
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 1: for two weeks and you couldn't go back into the

891
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,360
Speaker 1: main house to get any of your items.

892
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 12: People would have to bring them to the door.

893
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 2: That's horrible.

894
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,400
Speaker 1: So then there was a period of time where my

895
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 1: sorority gave everyone in the house the option was to

896
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:31,840
Speaker 1: either lock down in the house because then we had

897
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,800
Speaker 1: to shut down, not only the annex, but the main house,

898
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 1: or you had to leave for two weeks, but you weren't.

899
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 1: If you lived out of state, you weren't allowed to

900
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 1: fly home, and so you had to find another option.

901
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 1: So a couple of me and my girlfriends drove to

902
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: Arizona and stayed at her house in Arizona for two

903
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 1: weeks because her parents weren't there.

904
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:56,799
Speaker 2: Well, you have anything good to say about your experience

905
00:41:57,960 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 2: your house.

906
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 1: That is how I became close with twenty five girls,

907
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 1: and they it definitely some people kind of got lost

908
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 1: in the mix, but I could not be closer to

909
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 1: the girls I'm with, and it's because we lived on

910
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 1: top of each other.

911
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is so are you still you still are

912
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:19,320
Speaker 2: like that?

913
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:19,879
Speaker 1: Yeah?

914
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 12: Our group chat is still up and at them it was.

915
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 1: It was definitely a hard period of time because it

916
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 1: was sixty five girls living on top of each other,

917
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 1: right like, and it was no other year was like

918
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,840
Speaker 1: that in the past, Like everyone would go to class,

919
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 1: or you would maybe have lunch together, maybe have dinner together.

920
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 1: But we had every single meal together in that house.

921
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:48,840
Speaker 2: And were you guys? You have online classes time, so.

922
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,800
Speaker 1: No one wanted to take their classes in their rooms

923
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:53,800
Speaker 1: because you spent too much time in your room. So

924
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:57,879
Speaker 1: we had long dining tables which you could never get

925
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 1: a seat at. And then we have a basement which

926
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 1: you could also barely get a seat at. Because it

927
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:05,880
Speaker 1: was sixty five girls.

928
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:08,320
Speaker 2: And what was Tell me like one thing about it

929
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 2: that you remember that was actually really fun.

930
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 12: We did movie nights, movie nights, We had game nights.

931
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 1: We played this game called One Night Ultimate werewolf light

932
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:20,840
Speaker 1: candles ordering food.

933
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 12: There was a ton of memories.

934
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 1: We would sneak alcohol in pre game, really hard pre game.

935
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 2: Where was the game game?

936
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 1: Oh, there was.

937
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 12: Periods of time where we were allowed to leave the house.

938
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 12: It was rare, you know, in between all the lockdowns.

939
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 1: But when we were allowed to leave the house, then

940
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:45,359
Speaker 1: we would go party at the frat houses and then

941
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:47,839
Speaker 1: get in trouble and then you know, get locked down.

942
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:53,279
Speaker 1: I would definitely say that everyone lost their marbles. And

943
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 1: then it was nice because we sealed that year in

944
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 1: a really pretty pink bow with a trip to Cabo

945
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 1: and everything was kind of lifted. So it was it

946
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:06,759
Speaker 1: was a tough year mentally for everyone, but it ended

947
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 1: up creating really long lasting friendships.

948
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 2: Would you change it, like if you could if you

949
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 2: could go back and live in the house not during COVID, Like,

950
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 2: would you switch your experience?

951
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 1: You think, No, I wouldn't switch my experience, but I

952
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 1: would not live in the house again. It was it

953
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 1: was really tough, I think, just because we were all

954
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:31,799
Speaker 1: living on top of each other and just it being

955
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:33,800
Speaker 1: that period of time that it was.

956
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 12: Yeah, it was just it was just challenging to live

957
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 12: with so many girls all at once.

958
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 2: So Mary, it was challenging to live in my house

959
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 2: with a husband and two kids. So I can only

960
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:46,840
Speaker 2: imagine what it was like to live with that many girls.

961
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 2: It's just it had to be rough. Yeah, but it

962
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 2: sounds like it was sort of worth it. I mean,

963
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 2: you have these relationships now that that have endured.

964
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:57,800
Speaker 12: Yeah, it was. It was for sure worth it.

965
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:00,320
Speaker 1: I think it was just a It's also just like

966
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,479
Speaker 1: a hard period of time to become a woman, because

967
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 1: everyone wants to grow their education, grow their status, become independent,

968
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 1: and so everyone's kind of like it's like a battle

969
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:14,920
Speaker 1: between everyone and then it turns out Okay.

970
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 2: Do you think that happens not just during COVID but

971
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,760
Speaker 2: in houses in general, I would assume.

972
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:24,839
Speaker 1: So I remember talking with my little before she moved

973
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 1: into the house, and I told her blatantly that it

974
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 1: was just it was difficult for me, but it was

975
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 1: the best challenge I put myself through.

976
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 2: Interesting. Yeah, that's so great. Well, I mean, I'm so

977
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 2: happy you look back on it and look back on

978
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:42,360
Speaker 2: it in a positive way. I'm sure there are I

979
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 2: would think there would be some of your sisters that

980
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 2: maybe don't look back in it with such fond memories.

981
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 2: But I'm glad that you have all of these people now,

982
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:54,839
Speaker 2: these lifelong friends that you you know, what you got

983
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:55,759
Speaker 2: you went through the battle with.

984
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course we have some of our We have

985
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 1: some great story worries that happened, like one of them

986
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 1: being that a bat came into our house and it

987
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 1: was living in our house for two weeks because girls

988
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 1: saw it, and then no one could catch it, and

989
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 1: then it was rediscovered hanging in.

990
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 12: Someone's room, and so then the two girls had to

991
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:19,360
Speaker 12: get tetnis shots.

992
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 14: Ah.

993
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 12: Gross, absolutely disgusting.

994
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 2: Yeah that's scary. Yeah, all right, my friends. So I

995
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:36,760
Speaker 2: love talking to those young ladies and older ladies about

996
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:40,840
Speaker 2: their experiences. I mean, it was such an It was

997
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 2: like this little tiny nugget in my life living in

998
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 2: the A five house at the University of Texas, and

999
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:51,360
Speaker 2: I have really fond memories of it, and I have

1000
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 2: memories that are not so fond, But I hope all

1001
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 2: the girls feel like this. I would certainly not change

1002
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 2: it because I mentioned my daughter tried everything to get

1003
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:04,880
Speaker 2: out of living in her sorority house at the University

1004
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:07,719
Speaker 2: of Delaware. She couldn't get out of it. It was

1005
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 2: her best year, so to be continued. Thanks you guys
