The Kansas Alpha Chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon began as a local organization called Zeta Tau. With the help of George H. Bunting, Province Zeta Archon, Kansas Alpha received its charter at the Kansas City Convention on February 14, 1903. This made the chapter one of the four “Valentine Chapters.”

Beginning with 17 members, the first residence for Kansas Alpha was at 1247 Ohio st. in 1917, the current location was purchased and a house was built. This made Kansas Alpha the first fraternity with their own house at the University of Kansas.

In 1951 the house was enlarged and remodeled. The house was replaced and doubled in size in 1969.

In 1997 the current house was built and dedicated making it the newest Greek house on campus.
