At the University of Tulsa, a NM or 2 (not the whole class) can move from the dorms into the sorority house after receiving a bed with a no penalty -- if there is room. The living quarters on the sorority houses were built by the University (having the living quarters owned by TU was a way to get around a large scholarship endowment that prevented sorority housing). Plus, the rooms/suites are the same for each house, so there's no recruitment advantage as the space/footage are the same.

At UCLA, the entire pledge class used to move into a pledge room (of 14 ppl) immediately after bid day. From info from long-term alumnae who had reunions at the chapter house, I think this stopped in the 1960's or 70's, when most chapters were full before recruitment.
