I was initiated at Washington University in St. Louis which doesn't have houses for its sororities. Decades ago a female university alumna donated money for a women's building to be built with suites for the sororities to use as meeting spaces. As long as her gift was being used to maintain the building, the sororities were prohibited from having houses. (Note that they tell the "brothel law" story to incoming freshmen.) Her money ran out a few years ago, but the sororities now have the option to get living space through student group housing and as far as I know have not pursued getting individual houses.
