This is one of the biggest Greek urban legends out there and It’s one of the most persistent and annoying ones. “We can’t have sorority houses in our town because they passed a law that says that no more than (insert number) unrelated women can live in the same house because it would be considered a brothel.”
People who study urban myths say that this is one of the most persistent, and they’ve identified at least 100 campuses where it is fully accepted as the truth.
It’s bullshit. I don’t care who told you, it’s not true. There is no such law in any municipality in the country. Read here if you don’t believe me.
Story from http://www.uwrfvoice.com/news/article/2338/
A legend circulating around UW-River Falls says that the sororities on campus are not allowed to have houses for their chapters due to a City of River Falls ordinance.
This, however, is a myth, according to the future River Falls City Administrator Scot E. Simpson. As the myth states, no more than eight women can live in a house at one time in the City of River Falls without it being considered a brothel.
