Everyone has asked why it is this way so I'm hoping on enlighten on why these decisions have been made.

You need to check out some of the threads where people were talking about expansion at SEC schools. Greek life rules there, everyone wants to be in a sorority, the chapters are stellar within their respective orgs - sounds like a no brainer. You'd think every sorority who isn't there would be tripping over themselves to apply, but that wasn't the case. At many of these schools, just the fact that the chapter hasn't been there since 1900 or so or isn't "traditionally southern" is enough to cause it to flounder forever, regardless if it has a gorgeous house or tons of alums from other chapters pumping money into it.
I don't think that kind of thing exists at IU, but I'm pretty darn sure that there's no way ANY sorority is going to come onto that campus without housing equal to or better than the existing chapters. And if there is one group that's struggling WITH a great house, that makes it even less of a place you want to go.
Point being is when a group goes into a "tough" school the entire org has to make sacrifices, down to the collegians at Wassamatta U who don't even know the expansion is happening.
