Don't worry about the privacy. A lot of sororities are right next door to each other (Tri Delta and us shared an alley), and although we were able to get the gist of what was going on, nobody cared enough to really try to probe. I mean really, do you care what their ritual is?

Is there an Auburner here who can speak up? Do you have sleeping rooms or just meeting space? I could picture some lovely communal living environments that aren't too terribly cinder-blocky. I would bet if the university is offering you dorms that is what your national is going to be all over. It costs nothing to the sorority, eliminates a huge amount of liability, and there's no long-term risk as far as what happens to your property if the chapter folds.

I'd get together with the other chapters and start researching some really cool dorm environments to emulate. Penn State is one to add to the list. If you are very panhellenic about it I bet you will get easier support from everyone involved, including the people with the money.
