Oklahoma Beta Chapter of Pi Beta Phi at Oklahoma State University

Continuing a Tradition of Excellence

"Home is where memories are made, friendships are formed, and women become leaders for life." This phrase has been the driving concept behind the new Oklahoma Beta Chapter House of Pi Beta Phi. After 60 years of sisterhood within the walls of the current chapter house, Pi Beta Phi selected KSQ Design to create a master plan. This plan would determine the needs and direction of the chapter’s facilities.

After determining that a new build was best, our team hosted workshops with both current members and alumnae. These workshops helped build consensus on critical issues and develop a vision and fundraising package for the project. The package included interior and exterior renderings and floor plans. Our architects also provided a 3-D graphic “fly-through” video to virtually walk members through the new house.

The completed 30,000 SF chapter house is designed to foster connection, leadership, and community. The residence includes a variety of 2-, 4-, 6-, and 8-member room configurations, along with private lounges, dedicated study spaces, laundry facilities, an updated house director suite, and a technology-enabled board room.

Spaces that bring the chapter together were central to the design approach. The dining room, chapter room, and integrated safe room/shelter were each planned to accommodate the full membership, while additional open gathering spaces throughout the facility encourage daily interaction and strengthen the sense of sisterhood that defines the chapter experience.
