2) The school had many more parietal rules for females than males, often requiring them to live in the dorms, and didn't get rid of them for many many years, by which time all available land had been taken.
And then there's always
3) The women are too namby pamby to make a fuss and prove people wrong who tell them there are brothel laws, and therefore dig their own holes.
THERE IS NOT, NOR HAS THERE EVER BEEN, A BROTHEL LAW ANYWHERE IN THE USA.
And as far as what fraternity houses are zoned, I beleve that varies from state to state and also depends on what the fraternity house itself is like.

Well, yeah, there are brothel laws in the United States allright. They may not be the reasons why there are no sorority houses but oh yes, there are brothel laws.
I'll tell you which group they apply to mostly: People that are involved in, how shall we say? Alternative sexual lifestyles aka Swingers and strip clubs.
The local news has done several stories on these in the area from time to time...there is a house around here that is zoned business, everybody around here knows about it, and it is privately owned by a swinger organization...keep in mind, NOT an individual, but an LLC.
The couples have sex on the premises, they charge a door fee for membership...it's private, it's legal...but there is one catch: They can't sell alcohol. If they are accepting a door fee, sell alcohol, and allow sex on the premises, guess what the law calls it? A Brothel aka House of Prostitution.
That is another reason why female strip clubs have huge rules for men touching the women there...most of them would do anything for a few extra bucks, but because they all sell alcohol, if touching starts to get nasty, guess what it is? A House of Prostitution.
On the zoning...no, it doesn't change (in the broad catagory sense) from state to state...Fraternity houses are always multi-family...they are not apartments...A boarding house at worst, and most of those fall under the hotel/motel laws....and that is coming from someone who has reviewed a couple thousand appraisals over the years.
Zoning is always local in nature...there are no state laws on zoning. Same goes for building codes.
