I'm sure it's happened before with groups of alums sponsoring a house, I'm just wondering about a single-donor situation.

Didn't an alum give $3.5 million or so for a total revamp of the Beta Theta Pi house at Penn State?

I haven't seen or heard anything about a single-donor sorority situation done in order to bring a new chapter on campus, though. Certainly seems like something that could happen IF the sorority got invited to colonize AND IF an interested donor was known.
