I have to agree with you that if you already have a house then the possibility exists that the House Corp will be saddled with a piece of real estate. If the chapter does not presently have a house then the University sponsored plan is a possibility, as is some sort of financial deal that would facilitate rolling the equity in the old house over into the new one. If the chapter already has a house then the University would have to make the move very enticing.

The worst case would be a major zoning change by a city to 'zone out' a chpater house and force a relocation. It could be fought in the courts, perhaps, but fraternities do not make sympathetic players in courthouses. If we are being sued we are seen as druncked frat boys, and we are seeking reliefe we are seen as rich, whiny little frat boys. We can't win!
