Congratulations!!!

As of 2003, there were no BU sorority houses, and as far as I know that hasn't changed. There are a few fraternity houses, but those are mostly in Allston (with a couple in Brookline throughout the years).
The reason that the houses for MIT are in Boston (one of the reasons at least) is that the houses were sold to MIT by Boston U. in the 1970's. John Silber, the head of Boston U. for many years, did not like the Greek system and did everything possible to eradicate it. This included selling the houses under the noses of the fraternities and sororities. For a time it did nearly kill the system, and it was only the mid-late 1980's when Greek life started again at the school. This action hurt a great many chapters, including the founding chapters of both Tri-Delta and Lambda Chi Alpha.
Aephi Alum - congratulations on your chapter getting a house. That's awesome, I hope they get many years from their new digs.
