If a sorority isn't recognized by the school, there's really nothing stopping them from getting a house, is there? I mean, even if the law was real. You could just have a few girls registered as living there but actually have more...

The suburb I live in doesn't allow more than four unrelated people to reside in one house - but that's not for brothel restrictions, it's to keep group homes for the handicapped to a minimum. I guess they don't care about prostitutes yet.

The Kidd Kraddick in the Morning Show, a nationally syndicated radio show based here in Dallas addressed this issue this morning. One of their personalities, Jenna, is a Delta Gamma from Miami University. She claimed that there were no sorority houses at Miami due to "11 women living in the same house is a brothel". I called in to dispute it, but this show is notorious for not taking calls from male listeners. I was told they would pass on the information. Yeah, I'm sure.

I went to Miami, and yeah, the "brothel law" thing was pervasive. My roommate was a campus tour guide, and some of the guides would throw that out as a fun fact during the tours.
