How are Heads of Houses chosen?

JKR hasn't told us how Heads of Houses are chosen, but I am convinced
that the teacher appointed Head of a House must have been a member of
that House in his/her student days. Since students are assigned to Houses
based on their personality traits, how could a teacher from a different
House be able to relate to his/her charges? >>

I may be making this up, but I seem to recall in one of the books someone
saying that the Heads of Houses had been members of their respective
houses when they attended the school.
