Easy. Zero.
You see, when BU threw BU Greeks off campus, they weren't concerned about Greek life in general. It was a punitive measure against BU groups. Those same houses were sold to MIT greeks, who are there today, for the most part. (My old "dorm" on Bay State Road was LXA's first house!)
You might have a group of women living together from the same sorority, but it ain't the same.
BU has a lot of building going on in student housing, and are good about "specialty" housing for special interests (Limited Parietal house, Environmental Awareness house, field-of-study floors/houses, etc) They *could* arrange for Greek housing on campus - it just might ease the tensions w/ Allston/Brighton regarding students living off campus. But they are choosing not to take that (obvious, IMHO) route.
