Also, on many campuses (especially that didn't open themselves up to women, or to sororities, until later in their history), all the appropriately zoned land had been used up by the time sororities came onto campus, or petitioned for housing. That's why I think past sexism plays more of a role than present sexism -- I don't think the sororities would be denied houses if there was still land available for it.
That's pretty much exactly what happened at Penn State. All the land was getting snapped up by the men while the women still had to abide by parietal rules and stay in the dorms. That was sexism by the college, not the Greek system - AFAIK ALL women were subjected to those rules.
