I've never had to deal with this, but I can tell you that our Housing Corp was very strict with the "no animals" policy. Unless you needed the service animal yourself, it wasn't staying in our house and you'd need to find somewhere else for it to live.

It's all kind of fishy, as I understand it's a 5 week old pit bull. I've worked quite a bit with disabled students and I've never heard of a pit bull as a service animal. While it's not impossible, I too wonder if the organization knows what kind of environment the dog is in. We did have someone who wanted to have a dog in training in the dorms, so I guess it is possible, but probably pretty rare.
We do have in our bylaws that service animals are allowed, but she doesn't need this animal herself. There are just so many potential problems with having a dog in a sorority house!
