Problem 2: Houses
Having anything in a chapter house is going to be considered a Fraternity Event and open up issues of liability. Especially when its the Chapter that rents/owns the house through the Housing Corporation.
Chapter events that are planned are one thing, but one of the biggest killers are the members and friends that just kind of "hang at the house" in unofficial parties. Large chapters can have a LOT of members hanging out.
Possible solutions:
Only put the lease in individual members names. That way the chapter doesn't have to be liable for every little thing that happens. The chapter can also rent the premises for events.
Move everyone out of chapter houses and ONLY use them for social events.
