Beta Theta Pi Fraternity House, Fraternity house in Chapel Hill, United States

The Beta Theta Pi Fraternity House sits on South Columbia Street and displays Southern Colonial Revival style with white Doric columns and a modified gambrel roof. The two-story residential building serves the student community as a home and gathering space.

The chapter was founded in 1884 and moved to this location in 1925. During World War II the Navy used the building as quarters for midshipmen training at the university.

Members use the house as a residential community and gathering place where academic goals and community service remain central to student life. The building plays a role within the network of fraternities at the university.

The building is visible from the street and can be viewed from outside, with its architecture clearly seen from the sidewalk. Information about interior access should be inquired locally since it remains a private residence.

The 1919 fire destroyed three houses on Fraternity Row, and Beta Theta Pi then sold its 1905 house to Delta Sigma Pi; that former Beta house burned on December 12, 1929. The present house dates from 1929, built after the chapter bought the George Pickard house in 1925 and moved it to the rear of the lot.
