From what I remember, USC promised that there would be sites available for any GLO that wanted to build (they may have been planning on a different area though). Somehow, they have found space for a lot of new houses in the Greek Village. In fact, the 9th sorority is building and may be through or close to finishing (not sure what they are doing for rush if they are not in their house yet). Not all groups were ready to build when the Greek Village came about, and some, realistically, either would not be ready for a long time or would never be able to build. Some of the older groups were even having to scurry to find $$, so it wasn't about size or longevity. Greek Life had been talking about building houses for 20+ years, so I guess everyone thought they were crying wolf!
The thing that bugged me was that Greek Life asked our opinions and just dismissed them. They were determined to have the antebellum mansions. A lot of us thought that a huge meeting room with a kitchen and maybe some bedrooms for the key officers would be sufficient, less costly, and easier to "sell" to the members. Oh, well. The Greek Village is a beautiful addition to USC's campus, but IMO a similar effect could have been obtained without the huge outlay of $$.
