Indiana University 2014 Recruitment

[stbemtpynest]

The IU PNMs got a document with 2012-13 PHA Chapter Financial Obligations. All but three of the housed sororities also list "Live-out charges - Dues, fees, parlor fees, etc.", which implies those sororities allow some actives to live out. So now I'm more confused than ever about the bed-quota system if at least 16 housed sororities allow actives to live out. Am I misunderstanding the Financial document?

Every sorority is different, but even if you have established the fees, it doesn't mean you have to allow live outs. At least with my chapter, it isn't approved just because a member wants to. There are specific processes to go through to get a live out approved. Maybe most chapters at IU simply don't approve them.

Chapters that officially don't allow live outs may allow live-outs for reasons like medical issues that prevent someone from living in or marriage, which is to say, things so rare they really don't affect rush/bed quota, but the policies exist anyway.

Yep. The Purdue chapters allow live outs if the house is full. Usually is because we use the RFM method (or whatever mits called) so most seniors live out. Our Panhel just raised total quota again so 10 houses have to do spring recruitment to pick up a few girls to meet it so we often need girls to live out.
