Tara,
Who owns your house? School, independent landlord or alums? If the alums own it, they could possibly rent it out for a year or so until the sorority gets back on its feet. If you have a wonderfully understanding landlord he/she might agree to the same thing, especially if you have been in the house for a long time and have been good tenants. At any rate don't give up 73 years worth of sisterhood just because of your housing situation. It would be terrible if you all disbanded and then had 20 girls come along next year who wanted to pledge!
You may have to take a "sabattical" from the regular ways of doing business but you do not have to close altogether. That is one of the good things about being local - you do not have to worry about getting numbers to suit nationals. I know if you have been in the same house a long time it has a lot of history, and leaving it would be sad, but in the oh so true words of Luther Vandross, a house is not a home. Home and sisterhood are in your hearts, not a physical structure.
