haha, easy mistake to make . . .
Basically, it all boils down to the fact that the city situation is centuries older than greek housing. You take what you can get - that's why some MIT houses are closer to BU, some BU houses are closer to BC, and so on.
BU dumped the greek system a while back, then let them back on gradually (sans houses) - that's why some of the MIT houses are literally in the middle of BU. The houses were sold to MIT chapters at the time when BU wouldn't allow the houses on campus - there was a giant drug scandal at the time. MIT's LXA, Phi Delt, and Beta houses lie among BU residence halls for this very reason (and LXA was founded at BU . . . very stupid scenario IMO).
