Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not up on all the Panhel regulations, but I thought it was a Panhel rule that all sororities had to have equal oppurtunities and resources.
So I thought that if one chapter had a house, then all of the chapters had to have a house (or some sort of house).
At IU, back in the early 90s, there were 4 or 5 sororities that had to live in the dorms because they didnt have houses.
They did not do well in recruitment and now 3 of those sororities are no longer with us.
The other 2 sororities managed to build large beautiful houses (about 1993).
However, living in the dorms hurt their recruitment so much, that one of them JUST started recovering in the LAST FEW YEARS (by recover, I mean consistenly strong/large pledge classes).
The other one, is still having severe problems with recruitment. 19 party is this weekend, so I hope that they do well this year.
This is all from the perspective of a very large sorority system though.
Every sorority has a large beautiful house. It would be tough for a young woman going through rush to turn down the chance to live in large mansion on campus.
So the realist in me would say that it would not work here.
I dont know your school's environment though.
