I did my research and I found out that there was no law put into place in Terre Haute about the brothels. Although according to some older alumni, the local police were very watchful of the sorority houses at the time. Brothels were being started in old sorority houses on Farrington Grove and led to the relocation of all the sororities to Lincoln Quadrangles. Alumni of the sororities pushed for their respective chapters to move to the Quadrangles because they didn't want the name of their sorority tarnished by brothels and prostitutes. Only one sorority didn't push for the removal of sorority houses, Sigma Kappa, and they still have a house near campus today. Alpha Phi, Alpha Chi Omega, Alpha Sigma Alpha, Chi Omega, Delta Gamma, Alpha Omicron Pi, Gamma Phi Beta, and Zeta Tau Alpha all have stairwells that are four levels of rooms that hold four or five ladies per room.
That was where my research led me. No brothel law, but a recommendation that never got passed in legislation.
