Certain officers had to live in. Once those spots were filled, there were probably under 20 beds to fill. Priority was given to other officers, and then was based on grades and our merit points system. There were rarely problems to fill the house, b/c only 1/3 of our chapter could physically "live-in." In the event there was an open room in the fall or spring, a new member often wanted to break her residence hall lease to move in so we never really had an issue. There were a few cases where threats were made that the house was not going to fill and members would be "required" to live-in, but it really never came down to that and we always managed to fill up the house.

Where I advised in LA, the girls had a one-year live-in requirement that had to be fulfilled to keep their membership. But living in the house was heavily promoted throughout the year and an expecation that came with joining, so it wasn't a really big issue, again, to fill the house.
