Isn't this an NPC rule? The All or None mantra?

No.

Actually, I'm wrong. Not really surprising. Apparently when a system is going from no one having housing to having it, the NPC does help develop a house agreement for the campus. I was just thinking of the odd cases in which a group joins an existing system.

I guess I was misinformed. It must just be an agreement between our campuses NPC orgs.

I don't have all the NPC rules, but when new groups come on campus, they have to make plans to build houses or whatever, so not all groups are housed necessarily.

It wouldn't surprise me though if the general preference when starting Greek housing for the NPC groups is that they try to make sure all the groups are ready. The NPC does seem to like a level playing field.

Maybe someone else knows the real policies.

I was told (and believed) this myth up until this moment. I'm shocked AND I feel stupid! And now I also feel jipped! They're starting to get dorms on my campus and I'm sure someday they'll have houses - no fair! My boyf, a Delta Tau Delta at UGA had a pretty sweet house (it's even in a local Krystal commercial) and I'm super jealous!

Ha ha, I've seen the commercial you're talking about, and I was wondering whose house that was.

My sister went to West Georgia for two semesters and swears that the reason they don't have Greek housing is the brothel law. I tried to explain to her that this rumor is prevalent on pretty much every college campus that has Greek life without Greek housing, but she stubbornly swears that in their case, it's real. Oh well.
