I have yet to come across anything in print that says, "x no. of women living together is a brothel". At UBC, the cap was 40 women, but *my* reasoning that is more because of Fire Code Regulations...any more than 40 women in a room, and it could be difficult to evacuate in a timely manner, should a fire break out.
You might be able to find out for sure, by contacting your city's archivist or something like that.

UBC used to have the brothel rule back in the 40's and 50's, but was eventually over ruled. Thing is that land at UBC is soooo expensive that none of the sororities are in a position to build houses now.
Can't wait for the Greek Village - it was suppossed to be finished last year....
