1 00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 1: The Secrets of the Sleeping Porch. My name is Caitlin. 2 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 2: I went to school in Arizona and I had the 3 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 2: pleasure of living in my sorority my sophomore year. It 4 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,799 Speaker 2: was a pretty good blend of like sophomore and junior girls, 5 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:21,279 Speaker 2: and I really became close with a lot of the 6 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,239 Speaker 2: girls living in. I think everyone should live in the 7 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 2: sorority if they can. But we did have a sleeping 8 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 2: porch there was. It was a front porch and a 9 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,600 Speaker 2: back porch, and in total this porch slept about fifty 10 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 2: four of us, so there was fifty around, like I 11 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 2: want to say, around fifty four girls living in the house. 12 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,520 Speaker 2: And then we had like our rooms where our clothes were, 13 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 2: but in the porch, you know, those bunk beds are. 14 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 1: Really close together. 15 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 2: They're literally made out of metal, so like any type 16 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 2: of movement, you could hear. And there was this one 17 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 2: time I was not there for this, but it happened 18 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 2: to one of my friends living in so she came 19 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 2: back and like our group chat that. 20 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 1: This had happened. But I believe it was like end. 21 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 2: Of finals week, Christmas break about to start, could have 22 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 2: been another break, but definitely, like thought, everyone was out 23 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 2: of the house, like back home for the holidays type 24 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:20,199 Speaker 2: of thing, and our friend had brought a boy into 25 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,399 Speaker 2: the sleeping porch. Totally thought they were alone. They ended 26 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,919 Speaker 2: up hooking up with this boy in the sleeping porch 27 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 2: and come to find out they are not alone. There 28 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 2: is someone else either sleeping in the porch or just 29 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 2: like relaxing in there. The lights were off, so you 30 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 2: can't really see if anyone is in there, but they 31 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 2: were not alone. And if you know sorority houses, they're 32 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 2: like the boys can kind of hang out in like 33 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 2: the downstairs space where there's like the couches or we 34 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 2: eat dinner. They're really not supposed to go upstairs or 35 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 2: like where the bedrooms are just for it to be 36 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 2: like a safe space for all the girls, or if 37 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 2: anyone you know, is coming from the shower, like walking 38 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 2: in a towel to their bed room, it's just supposed 39 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 2: to be, you know, that safe space for the girls. 40 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: So boys are not supposed. 41 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 2: To be up there. And this boy is literally in 42 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 2: the actual sleeping porch hooking up with their friend. You 43 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 2: can obviously probably hear it, you know, being the other 44 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 2: person in the room, like with those small metal beds. 45 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:18,919 Speaker 1: You can probably hear something. 46 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 2: Going on and this person just like gets up and 47 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 2: leaves the room. I don't know if we ever found 48 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 2: out like who that person was, or if that person 49 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 2: found out who was hooking. 50 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: Up with someone, but it was. 51 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 2: Such a funny story, like no harm, no foul, no 52 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,920 Speaker 2: one gets hurt. So it's funny to look back at 53 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 2: and think of some of those funny memories. There's definitely 54 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 2: probably some other crazy stuff, but that's what first comes 55 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 2: to mind. And I truly loved living in my sorority 56 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 2: I think everyone should take the opportunity to do it. It 57 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 2: is so worth it and you'll seriously have some of 58 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 2: the most funniest epic memories with your friends there. 59 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 3: I have so many memories from living in the sorority 60 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 3: house and having to sleep in a sleeping porch. I 61 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 3: don't even know where to begin. The first thing is 62 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 3: when someone had to go to the bathroom, the person 63 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 3: on the bottom bunk, which was me, would wake up 64 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 3: because they would step on your moutress, your bunk bed 65 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 3: would shake, the floor would make noises because the sorority 66 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 3: house was super old, so you were constantly waking up 67 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 3: and the noises were just insane. In the sleeping porch. 68 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 3: There was snoring, there was people listening to music with 69 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 3: their AirPods. In that you could still hear people watching Netflix, 70 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 3: people sleep talking, people actually talking, people coming in and out, 71 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 3: people drunk coming in and out. 72 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: I mean, it was. 73 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 3: Like plugs wouldn't even help. And the one story I 74 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 3: will never forget is I was going to bed one 75 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 3: night and as I was pulling on my sheets getting 76 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 3: into my bed. 77 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: I felt something super like. 78 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 3: Wet and slimy, and I could not figure out what 79 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 3: it was because it was so dark in the sleeping porch. 80 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 3: So I go on my phone and I turned my 81 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 3: flash on and it's a freaking banana peel with like 82 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 3: a little part of the banana still there. That's someone happy, 83 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 3: And I was so grossed out. 84 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: I didn't know what to do. 85 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 3: I had to quickly pull an extra blanket up and 86 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 3: just sleep on top of it because it was already 87 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 3: like two am since we were going out that night, 88 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 3: and it was not a good time to change my 89 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 3: sheets because that would have frustrated everyone around me. So 90 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 3: the next morning I went downstairs for breakfast and I 91 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 3: asked who was eating a banana? 92 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: And how did it land and end up in my bed? 93 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 3: And a girl who literally lives on the opposite side 94 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,919 Speaker 3: of the sleeping porch said she was really sorry. She 95 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 3: was really drunk, but she was eating a banana because 96 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 3: she had a really bad eye twitch that night, and 97 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 3: she happened to throw the banana because she thought it 98 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,479 Speaker 3: was funny and just left it there and it landed 99 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 3: on my bed. I mean, I don't even know how 100 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 3: that's real. I'm not making this up. It was disgusting. 101 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 3: And so from that for moving on, I always looked 102 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 3: at my sheets and I always put layers and layers 103 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 3: of blankets so nothing would get like inside my bed. 104 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 3: It was I will just never forget that. 105 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 1: It was so gross. 106 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,479 Speaker 4: Hi, my name is Emma, and I went to college 107 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 4: in Los Angeles and I wanted to tell you a 108 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 4: little bit about it. Particularly memorable experience I had living 109 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 4: in my sororityes sleeping porch my sophomore year. So our 110 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 4: sitting porch was like the big eight girl room in 111 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,119 Speaker 4: my sorority house, so it was a lot of fun. 112 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 4: It was like this really big room with two sets 113 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 4: of monk beds and four beds and this big vanity 114 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 4: at the front, so we had a lot of fun. 115 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,039 Speaker 1: But with it being such a big. 116 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 4: Room, we were definitely like the host of a lot 117 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 4: of the pregames in the house, and most notorious of 118 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 4: those was our pregame for our biggest state party that 119 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,919 Speaker 4: we threw in the spring. So a little bit of 120 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 4: background about this date party. This was one where we 121 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 4: would anonymously invite our dates and they would have no 122 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 4: idea which member of the sorority had invited them, and 123 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,039 Speaker 4: they would arrive separate from all the girls to the venue, 124 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 4: which was usually at like a big club in downtown LA. 125 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 4: So it was always a lot of fun trying to 126 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,279 Speaker 4: figure out like who who's everyone's dates were. But because 127 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,239 Speaker 4: of that, we would have to have like a really 128 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:15,039 Speaker 4: big pregame of all the girls, and we would do 129 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 4: that at the sority house in our sleeping porch. So 130 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 4: this was a notoriously very drunk occasion and definitely was 131 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 4: one of our wildest nights. But my year, I would 132 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 4: say had a particularly heinous end. Basically, we would throw 133 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 4: this big pregame where like we cover every surface in 134 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 4: the room with like different drinks.

But I can't say 173 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 4: that was the most fun, but definitely memorable. 174 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 1: Okay, So when I was in. 175 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 5: Lived in my sworty house, I went to a large 176 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 5: school in Los Angeles and I was in CAPA Alpha Beta, 177 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:01,199 Speaker 5: and we had an eight person sleeping porch or bunk 178 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 5: beds or two sets of bunk beds and four other 179 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,439 Speaker 5: just standing beds. We had like a big closet area 180 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,839 Speaker 5: and this huge vanity. We would host pre games, We 181 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 5: would host all sorts of different things. And when you 182 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,439 Speaker 5: live in a room with that many girls in college, 183 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 5: you have to get kind of creative as far as 184 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 5: what you're going to do if you're ever going to 185 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,319 Speaker 5: bring a boy home. And our house mom was pretty chill. 186 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 5: She didn't really care for she kind of it was 187 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 5: kind of a don't ask, don't tell situation if you 188 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 5: were going to bring a guy back to the house. 189 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 5: There weren't like very strict rules about it.

We lived in the house with sixty girls, 231 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:53,199 Speaker 5: but we were all really close. 232 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:54,559 Speaker 1: So after. 233 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,839 Speaker 5: We had been done making out in the pit, I 234 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 5: texted our group chat said sorry to whoever was studying downstairs. 235 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 5: The ghost is clear. You may return to your studying. 236 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,959 Speaker 5: And we all laugh about it now. And I'm still 237 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 5: friends with those girls and I haven't seen that guy since. 238 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 5: So just goes to show value sisterhood. But yeah, we 239 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 5: had to get pretty creative when we were living in 240 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,559 Speaker 5: our sleeping porch, especially if you wanted to make out 241 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 5: with a guy. So that's my advice to anyone listening, 242 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 5: if you are currently in the sleeping porch, find alternative 243 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 5: ways to get your makeout in. 244 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: Okay, thanks, bye. Okay. 245 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 6: So I need to preface this by saying that our 246 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 6: sorority house was built in nineteen twenty three, which means 247 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 6: it has character, but it was obviously haunted. We had 248 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 6: a sleeping porch, so we had a big room and 249 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 6: we all would pile in and after night out. 250 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 1: It was a total free for all. I mean there 251 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 1: was like one girl fully sleeping on a pool float. 252 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 6: But one night, during run Us, I'm on my cot stone, cold, sober, 253 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 6: and I watch as a picture frame slowly slides off 254 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 6: the wall, pauses midair for two full seconds, and then 255 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,559 Speaker 6: gently sets itself down on the floor, gently like it 256 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 6: was considerate. I screamed my face off. Everyone told me 257 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 6: I was crazy and seeing something and tired from rush, 258 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 6: but I saw what I saw. The second thing that 259 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 6: happened is one night it was thirsty Thirsty Thursday, and 260 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 6: half the chapter was back on the porch, various states 261 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 6: of drunkenness, and Casey falls asleep holding her dominoes. At 262 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,959 Speaker 6: two am, every single window slams open at the exact 263 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 6: same moment, like wind rushing through, cups flying. Were all 264 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 6: so freaked out there was no explanation. On another night, 265 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 6: the lights started flickering and a voice came through the 266 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 6: baby monitor that we use as an intercom don't judge. 267 00:13:55,679 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: Us, and said, get out. I mean, we lost our minds. 268 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: Someone was then like, it's just Lives. 269 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 6: She's doing that to scare us, and then from across 270 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 6: the room, Live goes that was not me, and we 271 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 6: all screamed again. I mean, that place is haunted. I 272 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 6: loved it so much. I'm actually going back this. 273 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 7: Weekendl So, my sorority had what's known as a sleeping porch, 274 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 7: and if you don't know what a sleeping porch is, 275 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 7: it sounds misleading. 276 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: We were not actually sleeping on the porch, but we. 277 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 7: Were sleeping in this giant room that had I think 278 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 7: about twenty five beds at my sorority house and they 279 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 7: were all bunk beds, and a bunch of the girls 280 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 7: would sleep in there.

It sounded like it was near me. 296 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 7: I obviously didn't want to, like again, ask who was 297 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 7: using this, And I didn't even want to speculate because 298 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 7: I was like, I don't think I want to even 299 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 7: know who's doing this in their own time, in this room. 300 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: Filled with girls. 301 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 7: So that was a horror story my experience in a 302 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 7: sleeping porch. 303 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: I still to this day don't know who it was. 304 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 7: I kind of speculate, but if you're in a sleeping 305 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 7: where it's just don't do that in there. 306 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 1: Very mortifying.
