I guess the first step would be to find out if Greek housing is allowed by the university. At my old home campus, there was no housing and they didn't allow 'official' Greek houses. Partially due to the school, and partially because any free land near the university was either privately held or part of the school.

If housing is allowed, then I would contact your national office to find out if there is a national housing corporation that can help you acheive your dream. They can assist with funding, planning and all the permitting issues required.

If you don't have a housing corporation nationally, you should proabably set one up on a local level and begin fundraising. Determine how much money you will need to either purchase an existing house and remodel to suit your needs or to build from scratch. It would be helpful if you have an alumnus active in the local real estate market on the corp's board. As far as zoning, etc., you just need to contact your city planning board to find out the approval process to get a zoning change approved. The first step, of course, would be attaining enough funds and then looking for suitable property.
