The earliest you could possibly live in a sorority house would be the semester after you are initiated, since it's in the house's best interest to be at full living capacity at all times ($). If they have an open spot, they will be doing everything in their power to fill it before rush & the school year starts. [Sorry I know that wasn't worded the best, basically no you won't be able to live in a sorority house immediately.]
About quota- the number 92 keeps being passed around. Could change with late additions, I have no idea. The increase in total PNM numbers has bumped up quota by around 20 girls.
Tuuthfairy- I see no problem with sending aunt&daughter- I would check about aunt's daughter because of " Due to space constrictions, however, only new members and their parents will be permitted inside the sorority houses on Bid Day."
Magnoliacurious- I doubt the crowding problem will ever truly be solved. The number of sorority women far exceeds the capacity of the houses already. Unless the University were to tear down every single house and some buildings around sorority row and rebuild the houses bigger, there's gonna be a space issue [edit: even with the 4 new lots]. It's unfortunate that large families are at a disadvantage, but I can't think of a better idea as to how to handle the situation.
Best of luck to all of your daughters/nieces/friends, and I look forward to meeting them  Who knows, they could be my future sister!

i would bet that the university does not own the sorority houses(i know they don't own the ZTA house=our national housing corporation does), therefore, they would not be tearing any of them down.
