Шаблон:Infobox NRHP The Alpha Rho Chi Fraternity House is a historic fraternity house located at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign in Champaign, Illinois. Its resident fraternity was one of the two founding chapters of Alpha Rho Chi; it formed as the Arcus Society in 1911 and became the Anthemios chapter of Alpha Rho Chi in 1914. The fraternity's members were all students in architecture or a related field; its name came from the first three letters in the Greek word for architecture, and the chapter's namesake was a famous Greek architect.

The fraternity's house was designed in 1928 by local architecture firm Royer, Danley, and Smith and is a notable architectural work. The building blends elements of the French Eclectic and English Arts and Crafts styles; significant details include the corner tower over its arched entrance, brick chimneys at the narrow ends of its L-shaped plan, decorative brickwork, and a steep tile hip roof.[1]

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 23, 1997.[2]
