My school was in a similar boat, no sorority housing (we all had chapter rooms in a wing of a dorm). For quite a while the recruitment HQ was in a dorm basement, and the parties were in that dorm's lounge, the campus bar, and the campus coffeehouse. Then when a new dorm was built with large, nice, uniform lounges, recruitment activities moved there. It was especially great because the only difference was the floor number and paint color on the wall, so the shape, size, furniture, etc was exactly the same. It really helped even things out. But honestly, when the parties were in three completely different locations- it was fine. The groups rotated so that nobody "owned" one particular location. ABC was in the lounge for night 1, then the bar on night 2, and the coffeehouse on night 3. If I recall correctly parties were also held in other dorm lounges as well as in one of the auditoriums.
If you can find 7 locations on campus, it should work just fine. I liked the rotational aspect at my school so that nobody had the "nicest" location more than once. And if the locations are a bit tight like others have mentioned, you could always restrict the number of women that can be at each party. In addition to keeping the actives fresh, another perk to this option is that any drastic number differences won't be noticed by the PNMs. If most groups are 100 but there's one with 80 and another with 70, being noticably smaller won't necessarily hurt them. And as is discussed many times, a system is only as strong as the weakest group...
Good luck!
