Reading the Snoops website they had a comment about the university of chicago. A friend of mine was a student at Unv. of Chicago and was in a sorority there (in the late 1990's) and she studied some of their laws about sorority housing. What was discovered is that it was true that there were no sorority housing in chicago b/c many many years ago (like early 1900's) there was a sorority house fire at the University and a girl died. Her parents were large contributors to the university and the city of CHicago that they convinced the legislature that sorority housing was dangerous and a law was inacted (if you know anything about chicago politics you know a lot of $$ can go a long way!) well with U of Chicago being a division 1 school at the time the parents won and so there is no sorority housing for any university in the city limits... the law has since been changed but pricing is soooo high near campuses in the city that many dont have houses.

Thought I would share.. this urban legend was tryue (the brothel thing was not)
