Yes, if it's a formal visit with a lot of people, you do need to do that. Just you dropping by for a 5 minute visit? I don't think it's necessary.
I sort of wonder if it's an age gap thing.

I'm older than you and I totally agree. If someone had called us to ask if they could take a picture of our house I would have thought she was a stalker freakazoid.
However, if someone would have walked up to the door, knocked and said "Hey! I'm an ASA from State U. My brother's here doing a college tour, and I just wanted to stop by and say hi. Do you mind if I take a picture of the house to show my chapter sisters - all we have is a dorm and we always wonder what other chapters' houses look like" - that would have been fine.
And like ISUKappa said, most houses will probably be closed over summer anyway so it's a moot point.
