Chi Omega Chapter House

The Chi Omega Chapter House is a Colonial Revival building with four Roman Doric columns supporting the front porch on West Maple Street. The two-story structure contains residential and meeting spaces while displaying classical architectural features.

The building was completed in 1927 through a collaboration between local construction firms and architect Charles L. Ellis. It received official recognition for its historical importance in 1995.

The house is deeply tied to the founding story of a major sorority that began here. You can see how the building serves as both a meeting place and residence for generations of student members.

The building underwent extensive renovations in 2016 that added modern amenities while keeping its classical elements intact. Its location on West Maple Street within the campus makes it straightforward to find and accessible on foot.

It was the first Greek organization house to own land on campus, setting a precedent for other sororities and fraternities. This ownership was secured in 1928, just a year after the building was finished.
