At some schools in the Big 10 and old Big 8 schools, you might have a two year live-in requirement, or a 2.5 year live-in requirement (which means you're there 3 years).

As I stated in an earlier comment, its zoning. My town has an ordinance where more then 4 women is a whorehouse, and so they invoked an "unrelated" rule where no more then 3 people who arent related can live in a single family house. This doesnt apply to apartments or condos. This is how the town gets away with not allowing chapter houses, although a state decision would overturn this. Not sure if anyone has ever challenged it.
