We tell them when they are new members that the exec officers must live in and sophomore must live in until the house is full. Upperclassmen who return for a second year got first pick of rooms.
They can be excused if they prove they bought a house or condo prior to recruitment or if they have an internship out of town.
If they still go and sign a lease anyway then they will be fined - it is a hefty fine - one year's rent.
If they quit rather than move in - they probably were not adding much to the chapter. You may need to take a serious look at maintenance and improvements tonthe house. Is there something you can do to make it less expensive than a dorm or more convenient?
