Unfortunately, this bill could read as giving more money to the upper class when there's not enough money for the poor, but in reality, sorority and fraternity houses perform a critical housing role on a lot of campuses. What would the Big 10, SEC, Big 12, etc. do if they had to provide housing for all those students? And those are virtually all public state institutions and therefore it would fall to taxpayers to pick up the slack. If the sororities closed because they couldn't afford the upkeep (a real threat in some of those 100 year old houses that undoubtedly need new wiring, new heating systems, new fire protection) and the schools are stuck either taking over the buildings (and having to do the renovations themselves to maintain the same safety levels as the dorms) or having empty monstrosities on campus.
Hopefully we have good people fighting our fight for us.
