Hopefully this is the same experience that other women will have in a few years.
But that chapter (I only saw one 80s recharter in irishpipes' thread) got a house eventually and has a house now, right? And they chartered with the goal of getting a house sooner rather than later? And there was room to put it?

From what I'm reading, there is just flat out no room to build (from what some people are saying, the amount of room for Greek houses [fraternities and sororities] is actually decreasing) and any chapter that agrees to being unhoused now has a very good chance of being unhoused forever.

I'm not trying to contradict or be Susy Crankypants - just stating to any national thinking about it, don't buy a pig in a poke.
