Owning houses can get extremely expensive. If a chapter is having trouble and folds and they still owe money on their house-then the HQ would have to pay it.

Simply, say the payment is an avg. of 3k a month (and that is extremely low for some multi-million dollar homes), in a year that is 36,000. What if there are 10 houses vacant?

That's 360,000 a year just on paying for the house. No upkeep, no bills, etc.

That is one hell of a commitment and could easily make a HQ go bankrupt in only a few bad years.

I believe that the decision of whether to keep an aging house is becomming more difficult to decide as universities upgrade dorms, etc.

Plus the house isn't always vacant. The corp could rent the house out to a sorority or anyone that has the cash. The cost to maintain the house might even drop.
