At UB, there are no fraternity or sorority houses on campus. There never were. Instead, fraternities and sororities who have the funds to do so purchase a house in the neighborhood adjacent to our South Campus. If the GLO itself does not have the funds to set up a house off campus, then some of the members of the particular GLO go and rent a house together with their own money, while everyone else either lives in the dorms or the on-campus apartments, or lives in a separate apartment from the house off-campus.

This practice is very common amongst GLOs here and is encouraged by our office of Greek Affairs, since GLOs are allowed to hold rush events at their houses. The benefit of such a system is that the school has no say in how you run your house. That's between you and your landlord. Also, any private events/rituals, etc. can be held at the house without interference from outsiders.

Now I don't know about UGA and its surrounding neighborhoods, but if your chapter loses its on-campus house, this might be something you may want to look into.
