In my experience, no.

In my chapter of Pi Phi you had to sign a form during the NM period that stated you would live in the house if needed, and that you were obligated to do so.

But my chapter always had more people that wanted to live in the house than were spaces in the house, so it was never a problem. None of the housing obligation forms were ever "called in," so to say.

According to chapter history, when the houses first opened (2000), there was some initial reluctance to live in the house and the house corporation conducted a lottery to decide who would live in. In that case, if you would have refused to live in, but weren't called up during the lottery, it didn't matter to the house corporation either.

Of course we had only 20 spots in our house and ~80-100 members (we grew a lot during my four years), so it was a much different thin than if we'd had 100 spots to fill or something.
