While it may be possible for the situation to occur and for everything to work out fine, it would be an awkward bid to extend, for sure.
As with many situations...it really depends on the campus. If her campus is one in which sorority life is not very prominent, or they don't have big, expensive houses, then I would not even consider that an issue. Even if the sorority DOES have a house, as long as the main facilities [not bedrooms, I mean like the meeting room and main areas] are accessible to her, she should not complain about the dues towards the house. Although it is not her fault that she is disabled, it is also not the fault of the sorority - and neither should be punished, either by not being able to extend a bid or not being able to accept one.
