This is foreign to me (my chapter totaled 15-20 at the time), but is it really an issue that seniors, and some juniors, simply refuse to live in houses -- to the point they'd resign rather than do so? I don't get the concept at all. We were so concentrated on our studies and internships/plant trips/interviews etc. that the idea of finding an apartment, keeping it clean, doing our own shopping for toilet paper and light bulbs and such, and general home responsibilities was something we literally couldn't be bothered with.
IIUC, my university-owned chapter house (we didn't have a house then) sleeps about 30 of the 100-member chapter, and every year there are more who want to live in than out, largely for the same reasons. MOST of the others live in dorms. Is this the oddball?
