Our officers and sophomores are required to live in. This more or less fills the house most years. If we have empty beds after officers and sophomores we start with the juniors. We have a points systems so the junior with the most points gets asked to live in first. If she defers, the chapter goes down the list. Junior year is popular for study abroad and usually we can get people to live in for a semester. Then the next semester a junior coming back from abroad takes their place. Once in a while a senior will step up, especially if they don't want to sign a lease.
However you decide to fill your house, hold the members to keeping it full.
