I thought there was such a law in TN also. I know for a fact that there are other states such as South Carolina and Arizona that have the same such rules. I have a KD friend at Clemson and a sister at Arizona that were both RAs/officers in their sorority's "dorms". These dorms were owned by the Unversity and were esstentinaly dorm bulidings on campus that specfic sororities were allowed to use. This seems like an internresting alternative to such laws, even if it is not a house.

FYI-The current sorority dorm at ASU is not owned by the University. An outside company built it on ASU land (I believe they are leasing the land). The girls do not pay their fees to ASU it is an outside management company. Now, their previous home (PV Main) as a dorm owned and operated by ASU.

(This information came from the collegians I know at ASU)

As for the brothel law, I heard (I don't know if it is true or not) that it was "taken off the books" because at one point there was talk (and there might still be but I'm no longer at ASU and I'm not on the house corp board) to tear down the fraternity houses that aren't in use that are by Sun Devil Stadium and Wells Fargo Arena and build sorority houses (not big ones though like U of A has). That might still be on the plate (mainly because more than half of those frats aren't in use and are just disgusting to look at from the outside. ASU really wants to clean up the image).

I am 99.5% sure the brothel law is just a rumor on all campuses.

If not, i'd like to see a copy of the law!

I know in Pennsylvania we have the brothel law too, but I don't know of any schools that do have sorority houses. So i don't know if they enforce it or not, or if schools don't want to take the chance.

My school has an all Greek dorm, but not all the houses are in it. Some houses are having issues with keeping numbers up to fill a floor, while other houses do have enough numbers, but have not been allowed to live there since the chapter is so new. And the administration feels that we (the new chapter) has to prove that we can keep our numbers up. So they have given us 1/2 of a floor in a regular dorm to fill up and we did, so hopefully they will let us move to the Greek dorm within the next year or two.

UPenn has had them for decades.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A BROTHEL LAW

Where in PA (WHO DOES NOT HAVE A BROTHEL LAW) is this all-Greek dorm? I assume you're at a private school.
