Our chapter, because we have deferred recruitment, does not offer housing to first-years. Regardless, I think living in the dorms freshman year is an INVALUABLE experience--you meet so many people you would not normally meet if you lived in the sorority house.
I have never lived in our Chapter house, and I'm a rising junior. Part of it's because I've had other obligations (before Rush, I had applied to be a Resident Counselor for Sophomore year), and the other part is because I just prefer dorm living with friends than being in the house with sisters. Call me crazy...
