Local History

Sigma Phi Epsilon was chartered at University of Omaha on February 15, 1951. Prior to this date Nebraska Beta was a part of the local Alpha Sigma Lambda Fraternity. Nebraska Beta has had over 1,100 initiates since chartering.  

 


Originally the house was built to house the Nebraska Telephone Company. It was then sold to the Knights of Columbus' in the 1950's. In 1996, Sigma Phi Epsilon purchased the property after their previous house at 829 Park Ave was destroyed by fire. At that time the building at 3301 Harney Street was redesigned to accomidate the needs of a fraternity house in 1996. Since that time no major renovations have been completed.
