If so, that is a BIG problem...

It is true that the house is being leased for 3 years (with a possible option of additional 2 1-year leases) to the Pi Kappa Alpha Chapter at USC because they have the consistent numbers to occupy the house, which sleeps 40 people. This came about after the Omega housing corp looked into all the NPHC groups to lease the house who had numbers to make this work. But, in the end, the prospect of having a group which has consistent numbers to make this enterprise viable at the moment the best decision.
It is not true that ZZ Chapter is off the yard. They just don't have the numbers to make this financially viable at this time. The Fraternity will work with them to reorganize the chapter and recruit to put the chapter in a position to occupy the house in 2-3 years. When all is said and done, this is a business venture in which the housing corporation and Fraternity will make money from the project.
This does bring up a very valuable point:we (NPHC groups) brag about how we don't have rush as our manner of intake and we don't actively recruit;but if you want to have large chapter houses, somebody's got to pay the mortgage and the bills. Thus you have to have the numbers--you have to have recruitment goals, like most of the NIC and NPC groups do!
