I am not on the campus either--but I do have a big familiarity with the campus. My assumption is that the University would be building since it's University policy to own all the houses.
When expansion was attempted in 2005 (when I was a senior), it ultimately failed because at that point the University had not allocated the $$ to build a house. Panhellenic attempted extension without making sure that a house could be built... ultimately none of the groups wanted to expand to W&L without a comparable house on Frank Parsons Way, and there was no point in a group building a house if it would have to be turned over to the school.
So at that point expansion was basically abandoned and Panhellenic worked on getting the school to add an additional house as part of the strategic plan and big financial campaign that's upcoming.
So while I don't know if what you say is 100% correct either it sounds like it would be based on my experience and knowledge.
Where will you all hold recruitment if not in a house? At the Commons?
One thing I can confirm is that when the original five houses were built in 2000, they also had a plan drawn up for the 6th house--this has been in the works for a long time. I've seen the drawings for it before and it looked really pretty.
Also y'all will have the best access to the parking garage! LOL
