When I first started school at Iowa State in 1997, a few new members would move in shortly after Bid Day, a few would move in at semester, and the rest of the new member class would move in the following fall. Capacity ranged from 50 to 70, so there were usually a few spots available for new members. We were required to live in for 3 years, so if you moved in your freshman year, you would be able to experience apartment living during your senior year. A student moving out of the residence hall during the first few weeks of school would have to pay a few hundred dollars to break their contract and the sororities would pay half of that fee.
I absolutely loved living in my sorority house and wouldn't trade that experience for anything. I never understood why women would suspend their membership just so they could move out early and live in an apartment or with their boyfriend. You have plenty of time to live in apartments (and the rest of your life to live with significant others) after college, in my opinion.
