So what I'm asking for is some help if anyone has been in the same situation, and if you have been, could you suggest a possible chore system? Our current one is confusing and our house is always a mess. The areas that we are responsible for cleaning are: first floor living room/dining room, kitchen, and basement.

Thank you so much for your help!

As far as what AOIIAngel said, it really depends how much the house is used by all the members. If we had tried to foist "house chores" on women who lived off campus, it would have never worked. Just make it known that if anyone who doesn't live in comes over and cooks or anything, they have to clean up after themselves immediately.

How many people total live in the house?

Maybe break it down to:
Dusting - first floor
Dusting - Basement
Mopping or Vaccuuming - first floor
Mopping or Vaccuuming - basement
Mopping - Kitchen
Clean stove and sink - Kitchen
Clean fridge (i.e. just throw out old food) and wipe off tables and countertops - Kitchen
Everyone does their own dishes, unless you have a dishwasher - then just have everyone put their stuff in and run it once a day at the end of the day.
Also have a "free week" and make sure everyone gets one at least once a semester.

The bathroom is usually the worst so be thankful you don't have to deal with that.

Hope that helped
