I think there's a difference between being told that you are required to live in the house for a year, and being told in April that you have to live in the house NEXT YEAR. It sounds like there are women who will be sopohmores next fall who already made arrangements for housing and planned to live in junior year. It's a terrible inconvenience for them and their roommates to suddenly have to make other arrangements.

Not everybody loves the idea of living in a house full of people, and I can understand that it's sometimes a requirement, but it also makes me wonder why sororities often have such gigantic houses that they can't fill without making people unhappy. A woman I knew in college who was in an NPHC sorority that didn't have a house said it best, in my opinion -- yes, they're my sisters, but that doesn't mean I want to live with them!
