That said, what happens is that somebody's apartment or personal rented house usually winds up being "the house," where the latest composite is hung and committee meetings are held, usually because a bunch of members live there.
Chapter meetings and recruitment events happen in clasrooms. So...it CAN work.
Frankly, I sincerely doubt that each Greek group has enough members to financially support a house. There are different kinds of housing, though, so you might want to check out lodges and similar arrangements.
Your first stop should be your fraternity housing officer. In the meantime, Greek alumnae need to be making the university administration aware of their support of Greek life. As they say, follow the money! 
Much good luck to you!  |
I totally agree, it can work! At my alma mater, no GLO has housing of any kind, and all chapter meetings and events are held in classrooms! Believe me it works! Because of the large number of girls in the NPC sororities, recruitment is even held at the convention center on campus, and even some groups initiation ceremonies and such.
If you have any other questions about making it work, please feel free to send me a pm!
