...Chloe, you know I rushed at Southern Cal ages ago -- in 1974
-- so this perspective could be dated, but asking

Who gets to live in the house and how is that decided? (if they have a chapter house, they need to have girls living in it, so if you are interested, this is agreat question)

was a huge no-no -- I unfortunately learned this the hard way -- I did not know any better and I asked the very same question you suggested at a certain house at the opposite end of the row from you, but I was dropped the next day...after rush ended (and when I was where I meant to be anyways -
GFB) a very dear friend in that sorority told me that my question got me dropped because a number of the gals I had met only thought I was interested in finding a place to live...not true but that is how they perceived my asking the question...
some houses go begging for girls to live in them while others have to have a method for deciding who gets to live in the house and who doesn't...maybe the campus around USC is safer these days but when I was there, apt living was not overly desirable...
my advice would be to avoid asking specific questions about living in the house -- perhaps more general questions would be best like "how big is the house" or "how many girls get to live in the house?" etc or make general praise comments like, this house is so beautiful it must be a blast to live in it!
just my two (old) cents!
