    Why are sorority houses currently illegal in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania?

    Question #122325. Asked by star_gazer. (Jul 07 11 7:56 PM)

    		there is a Myth: There are no sorority houses at Penn State because of an old Pennsylvania law that defined a dwelling that housed a certain number of unrelated women as a brothel.

    However, this is not correct. The Fact is: Sorority houses did exist on the University Park campus, and there is no such state law nor any University prohibition against sorority houses per se.

    From the Penn State website:

    		Not true. I went to Bloomsburg and we had them there.
