Yes, a Corporation can and does all of these things, but that's just the basics. I don't know for all GLO's, but what I'm familiar with is that the Corp is the actual legal entity of a collegiate chapter. The Corp (not the local chapter itself) owns ALL property (this includes furnishings, various and sundry equipment, artwork, crystal/china, etc, physical plant, appliances, etc.) They handle the hiring and firing decisions along with all necessary human resources needs for legally staffing a chapter house. Also, do not forget that the Corp is the only entity actually authorized to enter into any type of contract on the behalf of the local chapter. Anyone ever deal with a composite company after some uninformed collegiate signed a composite contract, for example?
It's a lot more than just obtaining and managing "the house." There's nothing like running your own (insert your Corp's annual budget HERE) business, and that is exactly what a House Corp does.
Yep, I've actually talked before about turning Corp volunteering into viable resume experience
