KA did own their house, referred to as "the KA Mansion" on campus. It was completed in 1941. It was the first fraternity house BUILT in Auburn. Chi Omega actually was the first to live in the KA House for two years while the KA Nu Chapter brothers were off fighting WWII. The University owned the LAND (and only the land) on a lease that ran until 2025. The stipulation to that was that if the fraternity was ever suspended from campus then the University could claim the land. KA was also the first fraternity to OWN their own house. It was located near the railroad tracks where Cary-Pick Realty is located. KA resided there until 1941. The old SAE house was the second owned at Auburn. It was located on North College where the Chi Phi House is today. In fact, if you look closely at the engraving on the front walk where it reads "Chi Phi" in Greek letters when you look at it from the reverse side you can still see where it once was engraved "Phi Alpha" in Greek letters which is SAE's true name. Pretty cool stuff whether you are a SAE or not. KA, SAE, Phi, Sigma Nu, and ATO are the true Old Row Fraternities at AU. You can add Pike and Kappa Sig if you like because they were established next. Then you have a major gap in years before any others came along. And that is it. KA, SAE, and Phi have an extremely rich history at Auburn. The KA Nu Chapter at Auburn was established by the UGA Gamma Chapter in 1883. Oldest KA Chapter in the State of Alabama.
