Not to derail the question, but back when the pledges moving in immediately was a thing, who had to live in the house? Was it by pledge class, officers, what? I just wondered if some of these houses (or if even the concept of houses in general) were built with that in mind.

As to why they don't want to live in, I'd also wonder how much of that attitude is coming from fwap fwap parents who don't want Snowflake in communal housing.

ETA: is it being stressed during pledgeship and (if all chapters have more or less the same setup) recruitment that living in the house is as much an obligation as paying dues or attending events, and if you don't want to or can't fulfill it, you shouldn't be a member? I'm just wondering if this is yet another hard truth that's gotten swept under the rug with today's "warm and fuzzy" new member periods.
