Besides being a big subsidy, it's a lightning rod for criticism of the Greek system. The chapters could still have advisors, use campus space to meet, etc., but it seems like it would be best for everyone if the taxpayer-funded university and the GLOs were as separate as possible financially.

What happens if a school owns the land and the GLO owns the house but the school no longer wants to rent the land to the GLO? Its not like a chapter can just pick up their house and move? Why would a GLO or any group build a house on land they don't own?
