I have had friends at bigger schools whose chapters had no live-in requirements, but they said that their chapter has a point system to fill vacancies if too many poeple are trying to live out. The # of points you have, determines whether you have earned the right to live out.

Ex: Julie Junior gets points for having already lived-in for a year, being an officer, serving on x number of chairs/committees and having 100% attendance for 3 years.

In contrast, Suzie Sophomore has not lived-in yet, has never been an officer, and has only held one chair position. She also has 70% attendance for 2 years. She ranks lower on the points list.

When it comes time to fill any vacancies, they go to the list. Those who are lowest on the points list are required to live-in.
Someone like Julie Junior ranks high, so she is passed over and gets to live-out for senior year. In contrast, someone like Suzie Sophomore could possibly be pulled in depending on how many spots needs to be filled and how other girls rank.

Ex: if there are 5 openings, the lowest 5 are required to move in. They either move in or resign their memberships.
