^I have also heard this.^

This system is driven by occupancy. They hold rush in the winter before students would sign housing leases for the following year, so the PNMs who make it thru to bid day know they have a place to live next fall.

The goal is to keep the houses at maximum occupancy.

I wonder what happens to this plan when members unexpectedly don't return and vacancies occur?
Believe me, all housed chapters have this issue and they address it in their bylaws or standing rules.
