One of the reasons is that for many years (and maybe still today) Indiana had no property tax on fraternal properties, supposedly engineered by several non-college fraternal societies which had very elaborate facilities in Indianapolis and wanted to avoid expensive property taxes. The developers of the office park on the north side of Indy where several headquarters are located took advantage of this loophole and marketed the property to several fraternities and sororities interested in building their own facilities. That is why there are a half dozen or more all adjacent to each other. Also, the appeal of less expensive operating costs in Indianapolis brought several from New York City and the Chicago area...plus the fact that it was centrally located and a strong Greek area aided in selling the area.
