I agree that there are genuine challenges here. If it came up for a vote I don't know if I would support it. But it bears study. Adequate housing is a real issue. With competition from college dorms and evolving expectations of undergraduates we can't rely on the status quo for housing.

- How do you maintain individual identity and keep the combined group from morphing into one "super chapter."
- What happens when one chapter is having homecoming and the other is having pre-I week?
It seems to me that the only way it could possibly work out would be if one chapter owned or leased the house, and allowed individual brothers from a nearby chapter to lease rooms in order to fill the house. I can't see two chapters using the same house as their Chapter House working out very well.
Just my 2 cents.
