An act of God...
Anyway, we had a chart on the freezer in the kitchen. Each girl was assigned a number, and the number rotated weekly through various chores. You had one daily chore the you would do (as needed) every day that week(such as trash duty, dishes, clean up after dinner, etc) and one weekly chore (vaccuum one level of the house, dust 2-3 rooms, clean out the fridge). You got a fine that went to the house fund if you didn't do your chores. I believe the fine was supposed to be higher if you didn't do your weekly chore...but we never had to enforce that. I believe there were enough daily chores that you only had the same chore twice a semester. It makes someone accountable for a certain area. If you try to make guys clean up after themselves, there's no accountability, and you get guys who argue about "Nah, dude, that was YOUR bowl left in the sink, I washed mine".
