But at any rate I'm confused...don't most sorority houses have academic year housing contracts? Ergo if you get elected prez in fall 2003, and your term is for 2004, you still wouldn't move in till you are halfway through your presidency.

All our student housing on campus is for the academic year and off-campus (which includes Greek housing) goes by semester or academic year. There's really no such thing as signing a lease for a calendar year.
We have certain positions that are required to live in the house by Fraternity guidelines and additional (optional) ones that the chapters can write into their rules.

The housing contracts follow an academic year but they are signed in February for the following September. So, women have already signed their housing contracts for September now. The problem is, you don't know if you're elected until April, if elections are by the academic year and you've already committed to a lease elsewhere.

My main point still remains.. shouldn't this be up to the chapter or GLO and not up to CP or IFC? Why would they care? It seems like micromanagment of the chapters.
