While the property is URI's, the structure is likely owned by a group from the fraternity (most have a House Corporation of alumni that manage the property locally). They would have involvement in what becomes of the house.

Also, that house was a run down dump even when members lived there. It is beyond renovating, it would need to be razed and another facility built in its place. A group would either have to have the money to build, or qualify for financing (unlikely right now), or URI could build there and rent/lease (which they have never done).

Well URI actually has purchased greek property and razed it or renovated for new buildings. One of the international houses, TI tech I thinks the name, used to be SAEs before they got kicked off. The Alumni center is where sigma chis house used to be. The womens center was a fraternity house. And the office of undergrade admissions was Theta Chis house.

So URI could try and buy the property. I doubt they will settle with keeping a run down unused building on their campus.

not sure why absolutely was censored, lol.

And if the university wants to buy the property, but the house corporation is dragging their feet, that can explain why a decrepit building is still sitting in the middle of campus.
