At the universities I've been involved with (mine, & as an Advisor at 2 campuses), it's in the chapter by-laws. Voted on by the chapter, with House Corporation involvement (budget planning).
There's a minumum # of members who have to live in (so the house is not operating in the red), plus a point system to see who lives in the house & what room they get (based on year, attending activities & events, volunteering for in-house duties, if you hold an office, etc.) It's a cumulative total, so seniors end up having the most points & are not required to live in (unless a member holds an Executive Office). It works quite well and Exec. doesn't have to beg actives to do things (like set up for chapter meetings) because the members are earning points!
I'm sure Jean (NPC) knows about the challenge of IU's system. Will talk to her about it.
