I do know that the groups chosen all have nearby chapters, so that would be one mitigating factor, but the one with a house has more chapters at large schools.
I realize that we have not all seen the proposals, but my point is that there must be some sort of objective criteria on which the CPH is supposed to decide.
As far as lots of houses moving, I agree that it would be fairly easy to find a house to rent. However, it would take a sizeable chunk of change to buy a house large enough to compete with the other NPC's. Now, I have no idea if there is an advantage to renting vs. owning your chapter house, but I would think a chapter coming back to campus would not want to buy something right away, so that would mean they would have to rent, be sure the colonization goes as planned, and then move.

It is possible that the chapter you're thinking of (I really have no idea) did not send a proposal. But in 3 minutes I came up with several viable possibilities for why XYZ wouldn't be chosen. There are a lot of reason, and I'd be surprised if all of it is objective. If the members of the CPH are voting and these are a bunch of college students, there are any number of reasons why they'd be more likely to choose ABC over DEF, not all of them logical or sound ones.
ETA: Also I'd be that they'd go ahead and buy a house if available. (Or buy lots and build one) I can't imagine they're going to anticipate the colonization failing at such a level where they wouldn't need one.
