Of course, it's not always the case. I don't have much insight, but our Arkansas chapter just recolonized. Their alums built them a multi-million dollar house with an excellent location while they were still a colony.

The house isn't built yet. It's going to run them about 5.4 million dollars, since Don Tyson (SN alumn) gave them 1.7 mill. It is in a great location, HOWEVER it was not built while they were a colony. It is being built as we speak, and will be livable at the start of next year.
As shiner said, new row fraternities are often thought poorly of. Usually nationally if a fraternity is founded after 1900, it is not looked well upon, but there are exceptions (lambda chi, LSU...).

Thanks for the correction -- that's going to be a nice house. 5.4 million will get you a pretty nice place in Fayetville.

5.4 million dollars - !
My house is super old on campus - it was formerly the house for the Perishing Rifle Club or whatever, and it's only like $300,000 - TOPS. Of course, a house that holds nine for a group of 40 women works out well enough for all of us - none of the chapters on my campus have houses that are that huge!

Well I mean, when you build a house to handle 100 people, with 30-50 in house, it gets up there. Especially when you make it southern mansion style... 
And I don't think that house was close to 5 million (of course property in Auburn is like 10 cents from the university)

I believe the Sigma Nu house was built to house a hundred, I think the article said that there would be 53 some suites, and at 2 people a suite, around 106 people. It's definitely not the biggest house on campus, but it'll be around that way. One of the smaller fraternities on campus was told that if it made 1 million in alumn donations, the university would give it 4 mill. Not bad.

"purposeful hazing" now THIS I have to hear about.
I still can't see how eating behind toilets rocks. Are you teaching them to lay in the bed they made? It should be so clean they can eat off of it? Are the backs of toilets supposed to be spitshine clean? Is it normal to be able to eat off a toilet?
I can't think of a single normal person whose toilets are that clean.
Doing line ups seems to make more sense than that! Seriously.
All I know is that if one of my three founders caught some seniors making freshmen "rats" eat off a toilet they'd challenge the bullies to an honor fight.

"Southern Mansion" style? Do we have any architecture students here? My guess is that this style may have a somewhat more formal name -- like Georgian or Federalist.
I have this vision of sometime 20 to 30 years or so into the future with Shinerbock, Bows and Toes, Macallam and a few others sitting on the porch under the Greek columns, sipping Bourbon and Branch Water, talking about how great the Fraternity system used to be before it died due to hazing and alcohol lawsuits that finally sent all of the organizations into bankrupcy because of all the legal actions and chapter closings.
