Our Legacy and House at 7 Webster Avenue

Chi Gamma Epsilon has called 7 Webster Avenue home since 1914, when the first fraternity house was built by its members. As the fraternity grew, the house was rebuilt in 1937 to accommodate the expanding brotherhood. Over the years, Chi Gam has undergone several renovations, including major improvements in 2005, 2011, and 2016, ensuring that the house remains a central gathering place for members and alumni.

The house continues to serve as a hub for brotherhood events, philanthropy, and alumni engagement, preserving traditions while adapting to the evolving Dartmouth community.
