THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A BROTHEL LAW.

There may be zoning laws prohibiting sorority houses but if you check them out they prohibit ANY large group of unrelated students living together. It has nothing to do with women or brothels. The reason men sometimes have houses and women don't is that women sometimes weren't allowed by the college to move out of the dorms in the olden days - or the colleges were all male - so the men sucked up all the available land. By the time the college OKed the women moving out, no land was available.

Plus, Panhel regulations won't let one group get housing without all of them getting it (if it is sanctioned housing). THIS is most likely what prevents campuses from gettting sorority houses nowadays. There isn't enough room to move everyone out at the same time.

So, if you have ever had a school or town/borough/county official use the "brothel" story on you, please tell them to show you the exact law they are quoting...then you can laugh hard.

ZONING LAWS ARE NOT BROTHEL LAWS.
