At my daughter’s school, it is highly desired to live in the house. It’s a lottery to see who can get a spot. Technically, according to their by-laws, you can be required to live in the house the school year after your initiation. One of the other chapters at her school has this as well. It isn’t as desirable to live in their house. If there aren’t enough volunteers to live in the house, they start drawing names and those girls are required to live in unless they find a substitute.
Officers used to be required to live in. They recently changed that as Officer terms are Jan-Dec and housing contracts are Aug-July so it was always a bit of a trick for the officers to arrange other housing for their off semester. The President, House Manager and one other are still required to live in, but they have beautiful suites and private restrooms.
