Rudey, can totally understand, but without having a full house, then why have one.?
If the house cannot be filled, then the per bed cost will be either to high to afford a house or there is no need to even try to get one. Another option is to have high parlor fees to cover the empty bed cost.
If a House Corporation is set up then it must be put in the Chapter bylaws that so designate that a member must live in the house for a period of time.
Usually the newer members would be required to fill the house if older members did not fill the beds. Rank does have privilages "IF" they have been living in a house!
Most guys should want to live in the house, that is the center of the action!
