Because the university has setup a greek residence hall, it has been left on the books. No one has had a reason to fight it. The reason it is there also, is because Flagstaff was known for having very active brothels as it was an old west train town. In addition, it is still on the books that women cannot where red shoes on thursdays (not enforced though), and that when someone is released from jail they can ask for a shirt and a horse...The wonders of the old west.

Man, I hate to be the one to break up the party again, but I can find no such law in the Flagstaff code, Coconino County zoning ordinances, or Arizona state law. In fact, the Flagstaff City Code expressly contemplates and allows sorority houses to be built:

L. FRATERNITIES AND SORORITIES. Fraternity and sorority uses are allowed only within a half (1/2) mile perimeter of a university campus.

City of Flagstaff Code, Section 10-03-006-0001 ("Detailed Use Regulations"). There is nothing labeling sorority houses as brothels - I suspect your chapter had a problem because of the distance requirements.
