Yes, Leslie, you're absolutely right. It is only a yearly lease. It's possible that next year they'll have a house if they have high lottery numbers, or they might not and XYZ and Kappa could get a house. Or all three. Or none. It depends on how their numbers are compared to everyone else's who applies.
However, the university does not see it as a sorority house that should be rotated for fairness. They see it as a group of girls living in a small or "theme" house all working for the same philanthropy. Sorority affiliation does not show up on the application for the house. The way the university would see it, rotating the house between the sororities would unfairly take away from other groups that wanted to have a theme house, they'd be down to 3 open theme houses instead of 4.
The university is also tearing down the fraternity houses next year. One of the reasons they gave was that it was an unfair housing situation for men... I know I have the paper around here somewhere explaining it, but I can't find it. In any event, the university is doing away with Greek housing. The last thing I think they would do is instate a sorority house the same year they're taking housing away from the fraternities.
