I actually feel sorry for the sisters of the unhoused sororities. Many girls are dropping rather than go to their parties and that's not fair to them. I was a Rush Chair and I know how much hard work us put into rush and in a way by girls dropping today, the sisters are being rejected. These chapters need houses to fairly compete. Does the university have any houses they can rent to them?

No, they don't. Fraternities compete for the available fraternity houses, and a sorority would not want to rent a house and then have to give it back in 2 years when that fraternity returns to campus.
ETA: They really don't need a house to 'fairly compete'--there will always be girls who will drop them because an unhoused chapter doesn't provide the true sorority experience (in their eyes), and there will always be girls who want to pledge them because they like the idea of no house OR because they truly connect with those women.
