Ok, ok.... so my reply is SLIGHTY different. Until this year, it was illegal for sororities/women's fraternities to have chapter houses. "WHY?" You ask? hahahaha...
In Tennessee, any house with more than 5... yep.. FIVE... women living in it was considered a Brothel... a hooker house to be put bluntly. Well, fortunately, just this year the law was struck down. However, NOW our Student LIfe advisor says we have to wait for ALL of the Panhellenic Organizations to be able to afford houses before we can even start to build one!
Here's the kicker...
We have 5 sororities on campus: ADPi, DG, KD, Phi Mu, and Zeta. Of the five of us, only 3 can afford chapter houses (I think because of actual Housing Authorities). So for now, we are only allowed chapter rooms. All the sororities get 1 small two bedroom apartment in the married/upperclassmen housing. How BOGUS is that?
