"Such and such sorority is not housed because there is a civic bylaw that says x no. of women living together in a house constitutes a brothel". I have heard this from so many different campuses,
that I have to say - If someone can actually show
me a City Law/Ordinance that states this, I'd love to see it."
The Orientation Leaders at my school use this too. But it is not true at all. The actual reason that we do not have houses is because when sororities were first founded at my school they were asked if they would rather have houses or suites and the women did not want houses. It saved alot of money.
Another legend on our campus is that the sister of the Ball brothers (the people who founded my University) was not given a bid to any sororities on campus and they got mad and would not let there be houses. (Which is another really crazy reason.)
The town where my school is does have a relation law though. It states that no more than 4 non-related people can live in the same house, but that just goes for leases signed after May of 2002. (The law was just passed)
