At my school, the new member would complete her dorm contract and move into the house next year.

My school required all students to live in the dorms for at least 2 years (freshman & sophomore yr), but one of the exceptions to this rule was if the student was moving into an official fraternity/sorority house. So if you got a bid to a sorority, you'd finish out the year in the dorms, fill out an exemption form at Residence Life, and move in next year.

We didn't have a specific class year that you HAD to live in (as long as you lived in at some point before senior year), so if you really wanted to, you could spend the mandatory 2 years in the dorms and move into the house for your junior year. Nobody ever wanted to do that because by that time you're usually 21 & ready to get an apartment. So most girls just got an exemption and lived in early on.
