Now they have no choice?
My question if this is true, that by Title IX, they must provide housing, how come other universities aren't required to provided individual houses for sororities?

My experience is strictly with ASU, but the fraternities have had houses for as long as I can remember and the sororities were housed in a dorm. Now some of the fraternities still have houses and some live in a Greek dorm. The sororities are still housed in a Greek dorm.

Honestly, it seems only fair. If the university is providing/allowing housing for the fraternities it is only fair and appropriate for them to provide/allow housing for the sororities.
