It's not so much that as it is the lack of land on which to build a house. IIRC, one of the sororities that was housed in a dorm when I was there years ago wanted to build a house, but they could not get land to build it on. And it really is all about the house - of the 3 sororities that closed when I was there, 2 of them were housed in dorms. When almost every other sorority is in a gorgeous mansion, being housed in a dorm is a HUGE disadvantage.
Interestingly enough, this doesn't seem to be the rule for fraternities. Quite a few fraternity chapters have chartered/recolonized since I was there. (In that time there has been exactly one sorority chapter opened - AOPi recolonized.) There are several unhoused chapters at IU.
