What we, and a lot of other chapters here in chico, do is rent houses. I'm not quite sure how the relationship was established between our landlords and ourselves...but I'm sure it just began as a group of Alpha Phi's getting the house we now have and eventually gaining the landlords trust enough to start having 3 year leases and allowing letters to be placed on the front of the house. Also, the house we have is strongly affiliated with the history of chico state so the landlords probably cooperate with the school in allowing student groups to occupy certain houses.
I would love it if we owned this house but this works out really well. My rent is pretty cheap and Alpha Phi pays for gas, electric, water, and bottled water (like big alhambra bottles) so it works out great.
