Progress is being made on the Kappa house at University of Kentucky, which is expected to finish this fall.

This new house can hold 55 members and includes a study area, a library, and a patio.

The Kappa chapter at University of Kentucky was chartered in 1920 after being founded as Theta Rho Fraternity in 1917. After renting several houses, the Phi Kappa Tau House Association of Lexington, KY, was incorporated in 1948 to purchase a house. Kappa went on to build the largest chapter house on the UK campus.

In the mid-1990s, the house was demolished while the chapter was temporarily closed. Kappa re-chartered in 1996 and a new house was purchased. In preparation for the chapter’s centennial, Kappa rallied to build the group a new home.

This project has been a huge undertaking. If you are interested in making a gift to help Kappa’s housing project, contact the Director of Philanthropy Charlie Ball here.
