The House

Defining the Future of Texas Pike – The New Pike House

While the Beta Mu experience certainly involves more than the bricks and mortar of the chapter house, our home undoubtedly plays a significant role as a living and learning center and as a proud symbol of our shared values and goals.

The original house, built in 1952, served as the college home for our undergraduate brothers while allowing for a place for thousands of alumni to return to when visiting Austin. As we were approaching Beta Mu’s 100- year anniversary at Texas in 2020, we realized we must turn our attention to what the future holds and how we will continue to provide a modern, safe and beautiful home for our fraternity. It was because of the brothers who came before us that we had the opportunity to live, learn and thrive at 2400 Leon Street; we had to answer the question: what will we provide for the next generation?

Our Objective

  • We must provide a modern home for our undergraduate brothers.
  • We must set the standard for fraternity housing and attract the top student leaders who will move our fraternity forward.
  • We must be our brother’s keeper and invest in the safety of future members and guests.

COMPETITIVE

We wanted to be able to attract the best and brightest U.T. has to offer. In order to compete, we knew we must not only meet this standard, but exceed what is currently being offered in Austin.

SAFETY

We wanted to provide a safe and secure environment for all who lived and visited the new Pike house. Central to this are fire sprinklers, fire-rated doors and a need to be fully compliant with current building codes. Our undergraduate brothers’ and sisters’ safety was our top concern.
