wow, I'm impressed by the feedback I got on this. I figured most people would be ashamed to admit their frat/sorotity has a ghetto housing arrangement. It makes us all feel better to know that we're not alone!

I think the "brothel" rules are kind of interesting. I never heard of them before.

I wonder though if this no-housing thing is a trend that's more just in the northeast or if it's like that everywhere. It is totally awesome to visit other chapters with nice houses. Our Beta chapter has a HOT house that I stop by all the time. We try to make do with our dorm-based house as well as we can; we can certainly accomadate brothers stopping by but it's not the same. *sigh

anyways thanks for the replies keep postin', I'll keep checkin' up.
