One sorority at my school has a housing policy that's something like this:

Certain officers (most or all of exec board, and the house manager) must live in.

The remaining beds are offered first to seniors, then juniors, then sophomores. (Freshmen must live in the dorms.) I think the more you've done for the sorority, the higher your pick within your class year.

If there are any vacant beds left, no one is forced to move in, but all members who were eligible to live in-house and chose not to, have to split the rent for that room. That way, you get your rent, but no one is forced to give up a cushy single in the dorms or a private apartment to share a room with 3 other people.

I don't think they've ever had a problem, though; the house has around 26 beds and there are usually 70-80 sophs/juniors/seniors.

This is a really really good idea that I am going to bring up to my chapter.
