The Iowa Beta chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon was chartered at Iowa State College (now Iowa State University) on April 20, 1916. It was the fraternity's fortieth chapter. The chapter built its chapter house in 1931 at 228 Gray Avenue in Ames, Iowa.
During World War II, part of the building was rented to female students as many male students left to join the military. A fire damaged the third floor in 1943. Journalist Robert L. Bartley resided here until he graduated from Iowa State in 1959.

This large four-story brick structure was built in 1931 for the Iowa Beta chapter of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity. The Tudor Revival style building features ornamental half-timbering and stucco veneered walls, a steeply pitched roof with two separate cross-gabled sections, and a two-story wing that is oriented diagonally from the main body of the house. Three of the four floors are above grade and one is exposed on the back side via the sloping lot.
It was designed by Des Moines architect Amos B. Emery. It is the only Tudor Revival style building designed by Emory, and only one of two fraternity houses that he designed. [2]

Dartmouth College is host to many fraternities and sororities, and a significant percentage of the undergraduate student body is active in Greek life. In 2005, the school stated that 1,785 students were members of a fraternity, sorority, or gender-inclusive Greek house, comprising about 43 percent of all students, or about 60 percent of the eligible student body. Greek organizations at Dartmouth provide both social and residential opportunities for students and are the only single-sex residential option on campus. Greek organizations at Dartmouth do not provide dining options, as regular meal service has been banned in Greek houses since 1909.
