I am sure that someone has touched on this but I'm too lazy to read all of the posts so I am just gonna throw my two cents in anyway....
On my campus we had/have housing directors, elderly women who take care of the house and of us. Unofficialy the are the house mom's cause that is really what they come to be for us. Moms. When our housemom Donna announced that she was moving to another house a lot of us cried because you really come to care about these women because they are there more than to keep your house on track, they are there to be your mom away from home. Now I cannot possibly imagine that some random graduate student could be that for the girls in the house. Plus as a graduate student that means that they are going to be done at some point and so you'll have to get a new one...some of the chatpers have had the same house mom for years. When Alpha Phi's house mom died a few years ago they held a big memorial thingy at their house because being a fantastic woman she really touched the lives of the entire greek community. I just don't see a graduate student doing that.....For the house mom the girls and the house are her first priority, for a graduate student obviously school is going to be first priority. Also I really don't like the idea of the university getting to decide on someone who lives in my house, I mean that is meant to be your sanctuary...
