I agree with adpiucf - I've never heard of sorority party houses (I cannot imagine that is at all okay with risk management rules for most (if not all) national sororities), nor have I ever heard of a university or city giving a fraternity or sorority a party house. I know some houses becomes that chapter's "party house" because of the number of members that live there during a given academic year, but I would think in terms of risk and liability that it would be a huge no.

and most housing ordinances in cities do not allow just any house to become a fraternity or sorority house - they need to meet certain zoning requirements and from there, due to the number of new laws passed by state and federal government (regarding sprinkler systems, elevators, etc.), having a house that has just recently become your house is more difficult then ever to make it an official house. If it's not an official house then you cannot have your letters or insignia placed on it.
