I wish we had that...they have no problems filling their houses.

At this school, the dorms are old. My daughter's freshman year room was a 7 x 13 3td floor walk-up with a teeny tiny closet. In contrast, the sorority houses were built only about 15 years ago with tons of storage. She lived there the rest of her undergrad time despite having doubles as she said she couldn't rent anything off campus that was nearly as nice.
At my son's school, there is a live-in requirement of moving into the house from the semester following iniitation until graduation. It's not a university requirement but one from the fraternities themselves. The girls don't have this issue as the sororities are unhoused.
