We do have in our bylaws that service animals are allowed, but she doesn't need this animal herself. There are just so many potential problems with having a dog in a sorority house!

I'm again not saying it isn't possible, but that is not the usual breed for a service animal.
This site agrees that a breed known as "fighting" is not the best choice.

ETA: Can you imagine the RM or insurance nightmare if the dog bites someone (either e member or a visitor) or destroys personal or chapter property? It gave me chills just thinking about it.
