So my questions for you:
Do you think this is really a terrible example of Greek unity?
Does ABC have a right to do as it pleases if it's name isn't attached to the house on paper?
Do you think it will affect numbers for ABC as opposed to the other two groups?
If you were a Kappa or an XYZ, what would you do? The chapter's looking for advice.
If I have more questions I will post later.

To answer your questions:
1. I don't think it's a terrible example of Greek Unity. I think that they realized that they could get a house just like any other "theme" oriented group, and they went out and did it. Kappa and XYZ can do the same.
2. If the house is not an official house of the sorority, the rules don't really apply. We rented a house in our town that our HQs did not recognize as an official house, and we had alcohol there and boys!
3. With ABC only having a yearly lease, it would be difficult for them to preach the continuity of having this house if they aren't guaranteed it in the future. At one school I advise, our chapter is the only unhoused chapter, and that's simply because they are newer and there isn't any open space in the Greek Housing for them yet. They do just as well as the other sororities. It would depend on the women you're recruiting.
4. If I was a Kappa or XYZ, I'd get my ass in gear and fill out paperwork to get my group a house. I'd make sure that during recruitment planning, the ABC chapter realizes that they may not hold any recruitment events at their house during formal recruitment. At informal, it's a free for all basically, so you can't stop them from holding an event there.
