About this property

The Omega Chapter of the Chi Phi Fraternity is a historic fraternity house located at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.

By 1904, there were eight members at Tech and on June 2 of that year, the Omega Chapter at the school was officially chartered. In 1927, Omega Chapter members began to raise funds for the construction of a new fraternity house, which was constructed between June 1928 and Fall 1929. On June 17, 1982, this building was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
