Rooms for Chapter Meetings

Hey everyone, I was searching through the old threads and I couldn't find anything that really discussed this. If I'm mistaking please feel free to direct me elsewhere. On my campus we have no Greek Houses, or any designated space for Greeks period. Therefore, in order to have our weekly chapter meetings we have to book spaces (board rooms, larger classrooms, etc.). At this point chapters have pretty much established their regular meeting rooms and it's where they have been going for years. At the same time, all of the chapters are increasing in size and a lot of them are now complaining that their meeting space has become too small to accomodate all of their members.

In order to solve this problem, it was proposed in Greek Council that we put together some sort of lottery system to reassign the rooms. Since our meetings all take place around the same time, someone also brought up the idea of asking chapters to stagger their meeting times so different organizations can have access to the same bigger rooms. Personally, I think people would have bigger problems trying to reschedule their night for different times, than trying to find different rooms.

I was wondering if any of you have had a similar problem on campus and how you went about solving it. Also, if you did use a "lottery system" how exactly was it put together and did chapters react positively or negatively?

Towson has the same issue. Everyone has meeting on Monday nights, but the times are staggered. Half of the chapters meet at 6:30 and half at 8:30. It works pretty well for them. AOII has the late meeting time which is nice since they don't have to get out for the next group to come in.
