This has paid off so far. If this were the case for house members, the chapter would pay their rent and have to go after the member individually.

One of the toughest things is for the chapter treasurer to come down hard on a brother. But, it has to be done! Finances must be sound. That's one of life's toughest lessons, and seems particularly tough in a fraternity chapter.
By the way, the chapter I was talking about is a couple of years younger than yours -- and is a real award winner. The house would have been (or maybe will be -- we'll see) just slightly larger (capacity of around 20). We felt that the chapter size would have to reach and average 40 to make this even workable since Freshmen must live in university housing, and seniors probably want their own apartments.
The saga continues.
