There is a chapter on our campus that follows a rule similar to this. Any girls who had lived in the house were allowed to leave, while all other girls remained in the room. A hat is passed around, and it is up to the person with the hat to choose either a) live in the house or b) pay $50. If after any round the house is not filled, then the hat is passed around again. Very rarely will it ever get above the $200.
The main thing is that it is in your bylaws to live in the house, so it is up to your to make sure it is enforced. It also sounds like the new members did not have a clear idea of the housing situation, which is something to consider in future rushes.
