The housing situation in Columbus is very similar to U. Minn. & the new Chi O chapter there ended up in a dorm.

They have secured housing for the 2015-16 school year, but they aren't talking as to the location. I have been told that it will be competitive and in a good location. They are expected to announce the location sometime mid fall.
There are several other houses that are not owned by the chapters that currently live in them. On 15th, FIJI is in the ADPi house, Pike is moving into the ZTA house (AOPi moved out). Beta House is currently on-campus housing but from what I'm told, Beta is recolonizing this year and will move back in next year. The old ATO house on Indianola between 16th and 17th (occupied by SK in the early 90s) is in bad shape so that's doubtful.
SDT and Phi Mu are both great locations and those have always been my guess. The old FIJI house on 17th is another possibility.
Next year starts the STEM (Second Year Transformation) Program and from what I'm told, the owners of SDT and Phi Mu houses are worried they won't be able to fill all the rooms and they might be willing to sell.
