And see, to me it sounds like that's exactly what happened. The girls sounded like they were surprised that they were being forced to live in the house.
I know a lot of sororities will, deliberately or not, misrepresent their live-in policies. During rush a lot of sororities will say that their policy is "You need to live in the house for at least one year unless it's full." In reality, most groups have the policy that you must live in until the house is full. And if these girls were told the wrong thing, I don't think they SHOULD be under any obligation to live in. If you go through rush or even pledging being told that you're supposed to live in the house for a year and you planned on doing it your junior year, it is not fair for the houses to force you to live in. And if living in means you have to break your lease, I think the sorority should reimburse you for that.
Of course we don't really know what they were told so it's all speculation in this instance. But I don't think the girls would be quite so surprised about being "pulled in" if they'd been told from the beginning that it might happen.
