I am on the house corporation board for one of our chapters. The beds are filled based on a priority order which includes required live-in by exec board members, house manager, etc. Then the order after that is priority is given to the members initiated the longest and by highest amount of merit points from the previous semester. If any beds are not filled, members are moved-in I believe in reverse order of precedence.

If any beds remain unfilled for whatever reason, then the chapter still has to pay the board for the empty beds. That happened about 3-4 years ago and the chapter had to cancel some social events due to needing the money to pay for empty beds. The next year they got themselves sorted out.
