I think this rumor came about because the one sorority house with an oven only housed 5 girls. The other sorority houses had about 25 living in them with no oven.

This is kind of an interesting twist on the rumor because it does draw a distinction between dorms and houses since most dorms wouldn't be though of as having ovens.
It's not rational or correct of course, and I think a lot of dorms had kitchens but at least it shows a little originality for a variation that would "explain" what the difference was between a sorority house that would be affected by the "brothel law" and the dorms that every campus probably had.
