Campus Housing

[DUsteve]

Independent student housing isn't allowed at my university, so none of the groups have been able to occupy houses on campus.
Each group has owned a house scattered randomly throughout the city but currently none of the 7 fraternities/sororities own a chapter residence.

There is a HUGE golf course that the campus owns, and the lease is expiring this year. The University is looking to re-absorb that land and do something with it. I've heard rumours that the majority of it will go to student apartments.

This is an opportunity for the greeks at my school to possibly have a real greek row. We just need to persuade the school administration to take us seriously.
One of the groups has an alumni who is very influential in the city, and if he can at least lend us his credibility we may have a shot. (If he is willing to help other groups out rather than just his)

I was just wondering how the schools with the big "greek rows" are allowed to stay on campus.
How are you regulated?
How are you zoned?
Do you have some sort of agreement with your school?

Any information would help,

Thanks
