938 West 28th Street

Our house is located at 938 West 28th Street in Los Angeles, directly on the Row. The house offers a welcoming and energetic environment where brothers live, study, and build lifelong friendships. Right outside our doors, you’ll often find brothers hanging out on the front patio, chilling, playing dye, or having meals together.

The house features a variety of living options, including singles, doubles, and larger shared rooms, totaling 22 rooms for brothers. Our downstairs shared spaces include a spacious living room, downstairs lounge and gym, poker room, and dining room. Upstairs we have the Albert D. Shonk Library, a second lounge, and our chapter room. We also have central outdoor courtyard, perfect for weekend barbecues, social events, and half basketball court.

We have an industrial kitchen, located next to the dining room, to support our cooking team, who prepare homemade meals for brothers five days a week. In addition to the main kitchen, several rooms have mini fridges or small kitchenettes for individual use. Whether it’s late-night study sessions, brotherhood events, or just hanging out after class, the house is more than just a place to live—it's where the brotherhood thrives.

House History

1893-1949 House

The house was built in 1893 during a severe economic depression in the United States. Nevertheless, it was said that it had the finest hardwood floors, the finest trimmings, but it cost only $12,000. The house had gas lights at first.

From the 1890s to the 1920s, 28th Street was known as Bankers Row because it was surrounded by bank presidents and board chairmen.

The original house was sold to Phi Sigma Kappa in 1939. In 1949, the old home was torn down to make way for a new home for Phi Sigma Kappa.

House Established

The house was originally built in August 1950. It cost $105,000 structure. It has 13,500 square feet of

area for its 27 rooms.

2012 Reneovation

The fraternity moved back into the house in 2012. Prior, it was leased and used by another row fraternity. The renovation repaired mechanical, plumbing, and the general disrepair left previously. The house took a contemporary design, leading to a $900,000 renovation.
