Living at Colorado Alpha
Colorado Alpha is known as the ‘largest Pi Phi house west of the Mississippi." This house, built in 1928, is a home away from home for 80 members each year. The Colorado Alpha house is located in the “hill” section of Boulder, just a few blocks from Boulder's lovely Chataqua Park. The house has 38 bedrooms and sundecks on the second and third floors. There are also various sitting rooms for fun sisterhood bonding events! Members of Pi Phi often describe living in the house as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and one of the best parts of their college experience at the University of Colorado. The Colorado Alpha house is managed and maintained by Headquarters and the Fraternity Housing Corporation (FHC) in St. Louis, Missouri.
