I have been involved with Greek life for more than 15 years and have heard the same "story" about sorority houses and brothels everywhere.
I honestly believe this falls into the category of "urban myth". Can anyone show me a law that defines a residence with more than x number of un-related women a brothel?
I doubt you could find one. And if it exists, call the local District Attorney and see if it has been enforced in the last 50 years.
I have the same skepticism about laws regarding Fraternity Houses at schools that don't have them. I doubt that there are laws in most places that specifically refer to Fraternities and letters on the house.
If 10 guys can rent a house from a landlord at 37 Maple Lane, why can't the landlord put greek letters on the outside of the house. Could he put a sign that names the house Maple House?
And why can't a housing corporation be the landlord?
