The Beta Iota chapter of Sigma Chi was originally chartered in 1910, and was the third chapter in the Northwest Province. The original location of the house was on 13th and Alder, which is the piece of property that the US Bank currently sits on near the Duck Store. Stood there was a beautiful three-story colonial style house that remained there through the 1960s. The Beta Iota chapter then moved from that location in 1964, into a new house that was built on 19th and Emerald, about a block behind historic Hayward Field.
