The Harry Potter houses don't have elements associated with them outside fan-assigned elements. They instead have personality traits assigned to them.

Slytherins are cunning and ambitious, which fits Weiss to a T as she wants to revamp the Schnee name. This also fits Blake, as she wants to make a world where Faunus and Humans can live alongside each other, and people are judged on who they are, not what they are. Some people might argue that only purebloods (which would in this case translate to humans) go here, but that's not the case at all. Severus Snape, Tom Riddle/Voldemort, and Tracy Davis are all half bloods who came from Slytherin, and Tom Riddle was actually believed to be a muggleborn when he was sorted.

Gryffindors are brave and courageous, which fits Ruby to a T, and to a good extent Yang.

Hufflepuffs are hard workers and loyal, which fits Yang as well due to her entire character being built around her loyalty to Ruby and support of her, but also her hard work in finding her mother. Yang could honestly go to either house based on her personality, but I'm pretty sure she'd choose to go to Gryffindor.

Ravenclaws are knowledge seekers, seeking it for the sake of knowing rather than for a specific goal. This doesn't really fit any of the girls, as they all have their own goals for any knowledge they do seek. Yang very barely fits it, but only because she wants to know the reasons why Raven left her than actually seeking knowledge for the sake of knowledge. A lot of people think Blake should be in here because she's a bookworm, but as Hermione Granger showed, not all bookworms go to Ravenclaw. None of the RWBY girls would actually be in Ravenclaw.

Basically it would come down to a 50/50 split between Slytherin and Gryffindor - Ruby and Yang in the house of Lions, and Weiss and Blake in the house of Snakes.
