if the house is university owned, they may have specific sanctions. if the house isn't full, they may take it away and turn it in to another "special interest" type house. on my campus, they could put a non member in the house if there was an empty room. our chapter houses were much smaller compared to many schools where the chapters own their own homes. if i remember correctly, the most any of the sorority houses held was 20. my house only held 5.
if the house is owned by the organization, there are financial considerations that need to be made. if there are 150 beds and only 70 people live there for several years in a row, the chapter can only afford to take a loss for so long before they decide it is no longer fiancially viable.
