Everyone had this idea that this was temporary- even the people in associates programs knew they’d only be there for a short period of time. It doesn’t seem like a place where a time consuming (and money consuming) activity like a sorority would work out.
Maybe CCs in other parts of the country are different- idk- this is what it’s like where I am from.

This may come off as denegration of my own organization (Alpha Phi Omega), but if a service fraternity (where close together housing members *isn't expected) can't keep the large majority of its chapters at community colleges going why would organizations generally oriented to having communal housing as a part of setup work?
Let me phrase it another way. If a four year school offered to open itself up to an NPC sorority BUT declared that
a)not only couldn't the sorority have housing on campus
b)that while roomates could be chosen , housing otherwise would be random, meaning that no hall/floor could be concentrated into.
My guess is that this would be a nogo for most of the NPC. Community Colleges are *worse* than this.
Which in a lot of ways is the difference between community colleges and the 2-year schools that some of the sororities started at. The old 2-year women's schools *very* definitely had housing.
