At our university, all 9 social sororities have houses and maybe 9 of the 15 fraternities have houses. If we wanted to build or buy a house, we'd have to approach our city council to have it rezoned. Obviously, they don't typically vote in a GLO's favor. Our city recently adopted some new fire prevention laws that required most of the houses to install sprinkler systems and update their emergency exits. Several chapters almost lost their charters because of not following the rulings.
