What I do know is that when the Circle opened, 321 Columbia Terrace (the current Sigma Kappa house) was the Alpha Xi Delta house. So perhaps the Alpha Xi Delta Housing Corporation sold it to the University which then leases it to Sigma Kappa. Or maybe they (Alpha Xi Delta) still own it and lease it directly to Sigma Kappa.
Prior to Sigma Kappa moving into their current house, they were across the lawn at 327 Columbia Terrace - the current Phi Delta Theta house. That house was the Zeta Tau Alpha house when the Circle opened. I seem to recall that not too many years ago, the Zeta Tau Alpha Housing Corporation sold it to UK. But prior to that, they - Zeta - leased it to Sigma Kappa.

I dont much care for the idea of fraternities living in Sorority Circle. If they move in then it's not really "sorority circle" anymore.
Anywho, it has been about 5-6 years since I served on Facility at UK, but I'm thinking atleast some of the chapters own the houses and UK leases the land. A small fee is paid to the university for the land. Atleast in the case of Theta, the facility corp. was responsible for all maintenance inside and outside of the house even down to the sprinkler systems that we had to spend a pant load of money to bring to code ourselves.
