It's not. In La Jolla, we are not allowed not have greek housing because more than 6 girls living together is considered a brothel.

That is not a La Jolla city ordinance. Nor does San Diego county nor the state of California have such a low.

That is so awesome that someone finally investigated this whole thing, instead of just believing the rumor. I hope a lot more women across the country follow suit and clear this up once and for all! YOU GO GIRLS!

Exactly, although snopes.com did investigation as well:

Ha ha...totally!

I am thinking that the snopes thing should be mandatory reading for every rushee/PNM for registers for rush. It's an urban legend that just refuses to die!

My fave quote comes from 33girl

Fraternities can't build new houses either. Any administrator or faculty member who tries to sell you a story about a "brothel law" is just trying to keep you from having a house. Go to the courthouse and tell them to show you where it's on the books.

In my town it is so old we have a brotehel law. However we have a sorority house because the lease is signed per room and that is what you pay rent for. We are the only sorority with a house. We went to town coucil and got all the paper work on the brothel law when we wanted to buy the house, got a lawyer and everything. The house is grandfathered but has to be rented out by room where technically everyone is living seperatly. IT IS A STUPID RULE
