There's a big difference between a few seniors not living in, and all the seniors not living in. In the latter, the seniors get a couple of apartments, maybe even in the same building, and have senior nights at the house and do other such things to stay connected.
There were a few women in my pledge class who never lived in the house (at Illinois), and yes, they were left out. But by senior year, most people would like to live in a place where they are allowed to have alcohol and boys. I actually lived with three women who were not in my sorority, and never felt left out, because I could still drop by the house any time I want.
I realize they like the way it is now, and change is scary, but I really don't think there is anything SO special about IU that, if they went to Q/T, anybody would be bitching about it five years from now.
