According to my daughter, they gave them to end of the year because they already initiated their new member class a few weeks ago. Since Ole Miss had not and their new members were given option to NOT be initiated, they have only until the end of the semester. I'm not sure how it works at Ole Miss in terms of when/who lives in the house, but at Clemson it is typically the sophomores and after that year they move off campus. That is why my daughter is doing - she's living with 3 of her sisters next year, across the street from a house with 5 others
