The point of living together is to foster a welcoming and supporting community. That is completely embodied in living in the house. To have a "quasi-competition" (even if it is fair) would bait people against each other. I would be very resentful if I had a bad semester and then wasn't "qualified" enough to live with my sisters.
And again, we are wary of dumping the bed quota system because we don't want our houses to get any bigger, they're already huge. If your chapter had 200 members you wouldn't know the whole house.

IUGirl, I agree that living in does make you bond more with your sisters. Usually most girls are ready to move on in their senior year to an apartment- at least that was how it was when I was in the house.
If there are 1600 women going through and 19 Chapters that would be a quota of 84, but you have to take into account girls that drop out because they are not interested in being Greek or get cut. So with a 75% placement rate that would put quota at somewhere around 63. Is there a total set for IU and I would be curious to see how many Seniors on average graduate each year. I would think that with girls doing semesters abroad, dropping out of school and quiting the sorority it would all balance out and make recruitment a lot more enjoyable for your new members.
Any way, I wish you guys the best of luck. Maybe some changes will come with some time.
