Alpha House, Fraternity housing in Detroit, United States
Alpha House is a residence facility in Detroit that provides housing and shared spaces for members of student fraternities and sororities. The building contains individual rooms for residents as well as areas designed for group activities and chapter gatherings.
The building was constructed in 1912 as one of the earliest dedicated housing facilities for fraternities in North America. It reflects how student organizations developed their own residential spaces during the early 1900s.
Alpha House functions as a central point for fraternity members to develop leadership skills while participating in community service and academic pursuits.
This is a private residence with limited public access since it serves as active student housing. Visitors should ask permission before visiting, as access depends on the residents' availability and preferences.
The house displays photographs and memorabilia from decades of student life on its walls. These collections tell stories of different generations of residents and their activities over the years.
