Here are some of the highlights based on your comments in the Zoom sessions and other inputs.
During our Freshman year, women were housed in Dickson 5 and 6, Balch Hall, Risley, and Mary Donlon. There were no other dorms on North Campus or for women.
I lived on the second floor of Dickson V, in a single converted to a double. There were four of us in three rooms: two singles converted to a double and one room with four desks. Serendipitously, one of the four of us moved out second semester so the remaining three of us had a single room. On our corridor were the Dorm President and her roommate, our Resident Adviser and Assistant Resident Adviser, and several singles and doubles. Only the president and our RA had phones; we had a single phone for our floor (around the corner from our room and in a small room (no chair); I don’t recall if there was a door on the room. As a consequence, communication with parents was sporadic – and access to the phone had to be shared with the rest of the floor’s residents. Mail was the alternative.
I lived in my sorority house in Sophomore year and was back in Dickson 5 for the first half of Junior year, moving back into the Sorority House when I became president in January upon the marriage of the then president. I stayed in the house for Senior year. There was a common phone in the phonebooths in the second- and the third-floor halls; as an officer, I did have a phone in our room; however, long distance calls were expensive so there were few calls home, and we relied on mail to communicate with parents and friends.
