OK, I'm not an authority on this, but I think the university owns all on-campus Greek houses here. All sororities (with the exception of three, I think) live in "sorority circle," which is a group of houses all built around the same time and which all pretty much look alike. Prior to moving in here, which was waaaaaaaaay back in the day, my sorority had a beautiful "regular" house somewhere off-campus (I've seen pictures). I guess the University made them sell it and move into this more generic-looking one. But at least we have a house...the fraternities have it a lot worse because there's more of them, and it's only the bigger ones who have houses. If you don't have a house, pretty much no one ever hears about you, unless you're the one fraternity that has managed to stay visible without one. The University wants to make the land where seven of the fraternity houses are into "greenspace," so they're all being torn down. Two new houses were just built in sorority circle for two lucky fraternities, but they're way behind schedule as far as being completed. Oh, yeah, and I think they're tearing down another fraternity house to expand a parking garage, which they've done before. It's a mess!
