Chapter House occupancy
Would anyone be willing to share the ins and outs of how they fill their chapter house each year? I'm an adviser to a chapter that always makes quota plus but we have some issues with filling the house. I'd like to know how others deal with the problem.
Don't suggest the national org. They are clueless and less than helpful. If we followed their suggestions, we'd be in an even bigger hole.
Here are some of the questions I'd like to see addressed:
Do you have an occupancy plan? Do you enforce it with women who have signed and paid a lease elsewhere? (Knowing that they usually choose to resign rather than deal with the problem of subletting and move in.)
Do you require exec to live in?
How do you fill spaces for those who want a semester's housing only because they are student teaching second semester?
Do you charge a move-out fee?
I'd love to hear any and all suggestions. Thank you all for your time. Your help in this and other issues is much appreciated.
