I agree IU desperately needs to expand. There are 19 sororities and quota is generally between 45-50. So there are about 855-950 bids to be given per year. The problem, from what I understand, is that IU will not let a new sorority come to campus without having a plan for a house, and there just isn't much, if any, available land for houses on campus these days. (Someone from IU can tell me if I have this wrong!) There are some vacant houses, since a few chapters have been closed, but those houses are either still owned by the fraternity (with plans to recolonize) or are sold to the University or to other organizations.

Ah... got it.
Is it possible for a colonizing sorority to arrange to rent a house? e.g. It's 2004 and sorority ABC wants to colonize. Fraternity XYZ has a closed chapter, owns that chapter's house, and is planning to recolonize, but not until 2007. ABC rents the house for 3 years while looking for their own house to buy and saving up for a down payment. By 2007 ABC has found a house and they move in, and XYZ gets their house back as a house for their new colony. It would get expensive for ABC, though.
