The Chi Omega House at the University of Dayton is located on 219 Kiefaber Street. Members of the Executive Board only, that is President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Pledge Educator, and Personnel, are permitted to live in the house.

The Mu Lambda chapter is also next in line to build a new house. This house will be similar to the new Sigma Chi house on Kiefaber and will house 12 girls.

Interesting Info. on the Psi Chapter House - Univ. of Arkansas
 

Chi Omega was the first Greek organization to build its own chapter house on the University of Arkansas campus. Chi Omega (Psi chapter) purchased this lot in the Oakland Place Addition in 1928. Construction began that same year and the new home was occupied in late 1928.

Psi Chapter is the mother chapter of the Chi Omega national organization. It was founded in Fayetteville on April 5, 1895, by Jobelle Holcombe, Ina Mae Boles, Jean Vincenheller, Alice Simonds, and Dr. Charles Richardson. All were University of Arkansas students except Dr. Richardson, who was a Fayetteville dentist interested in student life. He had assisted the four students to such an extent in getting the new sorority started that he was made an honorary member.

The Chi Omega House is a three-story building, plus basement, with Colonial Revival and Classical Revival influences. The original building was made to accommodate 45 young women, a house mother, a guest room, and a house manager–in addition to a chapter room, living room, dining room, kitchen, reception room, and laundry.

Plans for the original part of the house were prepared by Charles L. Ellis, the former superintendent of buildings and grounds at the University. Construction was by the Wages Brothers, contractors from Fayetteville, working in conjunction with James Dinwiddie, the city’s building inspector and architect.

When construction began in 1928, Miss Jobelle Holcombe, a charter member of Chi Omega, and at that time an associate professor of English at the University, turned over the first shovel of dirt. Total investment in the house was $35,000. These funds came from fees assessed for a "house fund," benefit parties, friends, and bank loans. The gift that started the house fund was a $2,000 bequest from Dr. Richardson.

Growth of both the University and the Psi Chapter made it necessary to enlarge and remodel the house several times. In 1941 an addition was built on the west side. Architects were Edwin C. Price of Fayetteville, and Haralson and Nelson of Fort Smith. The contractor was the E.F. Bird Construction Co. of Fayetteville. In 1958 came additions to the northern, or rear, elevation of the house. The architect was Paul Young, Jr., of Fayetteville, and the contractor was the W.H. Patterson Construction Co. These two additions enabled the building to house a total of 75 young women and a house mother. In 1987 and 1988 the plumbing, wiring, and heating systems were improved.

In April 1995, 100 years after the founding of Chi Omega at the University of Arkansas, the chapter house was accepted for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.

Kappa Beta Chapter - Rhodes College, Memphis, TN
 

The Chi Omega Sorority House was constructed sometime in the 1930s. It replaced a log house which had been purchased and relocated to the campus in 1926. The national sorority had established a chapter on the college's Clarksville campus in 1922.

The house is actually a lodge -- no students live there.

"Our first house was on Crest Road. It was a duplex converted to house 8 members. In 1988, We moved to our second chapter house on Enterprise Street. 19 members lived there. In 1999, our chapter moved again. This time to a brand new home on Greek Way. This new home houses 42 members. With this new home our chapter now has a meal plan and we are able to hold our weekly meetings at our house. We are so happy to have this beautiful new house and we enjoy spending time here with our sisters! This drawing was done before our house was completed but is fairly accurate."

More pics of Iota Alpha Chapter House

All these pics make me wish my chapter really had housing right now. The student government (run mainly by Greeks) has been pushing this for quite a few years now! Only a few of the chapters have halls on campus.:(

ChiOqt, I know what you mean -- when I pledged my chapter had a suite in a Panhellenic house (they now have a Chi Omega house), but really -- what Chi Omega is all about is the people. It's not the bricks & mortar.

I do think it's fun to see what the different houses & lodges look like.
