My sorority wants to get a house and I was wondering how do we go about it? My question is not regarding house structure, but more of how other sororities pay for rent? Is the house under your national org, alumni, or through the university? Which would be best? Any other info. would also be appreciated. Thank you.

Depends on the campus. Does your campus have houses? Do the sororities have suites in dorms?
Regardless, usually a house corporation actually owns or leases the building or suite, owns the furniture, pays for repairs etc. The house corporation is made up of chapters members, both alumnae and collegiate.
It's paid for by the chapter members. One of the items on your bill will be "rent" if you live in, and "parlor fees" if you live out (if you live out, you still help use the electricity, water, air conditioning, furniture, insurance, taxes etc when you are there).
Your sorority should have lots of information on this, probably through a manual that you can see online with a password. Talk to your officers and/or advisor.
