Whether or not what ABC did was dodgy, you're on the losing end of a situation here. Next year XYZ will do the same (and with more girls than you, they're more likely to have the higher lottery number to do it with). That will leave Kappa as the chapter without a house, and while housing was never a standard rushees measured your chapters by in the past, they will now. And since you're the smallest and unhoused, the girls will think (probably with no fair foundation), "Oh, Kappa isn't as good - I'm not going there." You're locked into a losing proposition.

You could try for a theme house yourself, but maybe you won't get one - or your nationals won't allow it.

So you have two choices:

1) Play dirty and unpanhellenically, and try to get them in trouble. That might make them lose their house, but it will ruin any sense of Greek unity.

2) Rush three times as hard as anyone else on campus to get numbers up NOW before you're the chapter that's left out. If you've got the numbers but no house, no biggie - esp. if the theme houses change from year to year.
