If I were a student at a school that suddenly changed the rules and said I had to live in university housing (which is usually wayyyyy more expensive than off campus housing), I'd transfer. I hope they lose students over their micromanagement of their lives.

I don't necessarily think making students live on campus all 4 years is beyond the pale. It's when they do it to you after you've accepted and built a life there NOT under that rule. What I am saying is, if they did something like "beginning with the class of 2009 all students must live on campus for their entire college career." It's not fair to tell people they can move out and then change the rules and say "sorry, you have to move back on campus or you'll be expelled." Older students should have a grandfather clause. That goes for Greeks or anyone.
Oh and re Little E's comment that coed housing doesn't kill a house - I think you're right, as long as there are true "friends of the house" living there. It seems from this that the women who would be the most against fraternities will be the ones moving into the houses and trying to cause trouble. The fraternities should at least be allowed to pick the girls that live there if they have to do this.
