33k,
Housing at IU for the Greek system is becoming a thorn for those who want to expand to IU.
There ARE vacant fraternity houses at IU BUT their nationals are holding onto them so that they can come back. This is a strong greek system that everyone wants to be a part of.
There also many fraternities without houses waiting to buy property when it comes available.
As for "A LOT" I would say no. There are currently only 3 vacant fraternity houses. One of them has been bought for next year and the house that they will vacate has been taken as well. As for the other two houses, their nationals are holding onto them pretty tight.
Also, fraternity houses at IU, while being relatively nice, are no where NEAR nice enough for a sorority to live in, much less to recruit with. Unlike other greek systems, where you have "medium sized houses" and large houses, a fraternity/sorority cant really exist here by living in a residential home. If they could pull it off, kudos!
The only thing that I could suggest is for another "extension" just off of campus to be created for greek housing. The university owns pretty much EVERYTHING so it will be tough finding land that they dont own. I know, I've looked at the plot maps myself.
