Maybe someone at IU could ciarify, but based on this comment in a news article linked in the other thread, it sounds like on-campus housing is indeed in short supply:

IU administrators have too long depended on the Greek system to supply housing and social networks for their students. The administrators in charge of campus life must examine and explore innovative alternatives for housing and student life, especially in the sophomore year of college. After the first year, students are expected to move out of the dorms. They are faced with either an apartment or joining a sorority/fraternity. Many students turn to the Greek system for housing. The Greek system is readily available, close to campus, and a part of the University. Apartments, located several blocks off campus are not part of the University. A second year student faces isolation and a rather significant adjustment.

This could also explain why IU women who go bidless often transfer to another school.
