Historic UW-Madison frat searches for new house after plans get pricey

A chemistry fraternity is again looking for a new home at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Alpha Chi Sigma is a professional co-ed fraternity founded at UW-Madison in 1902. With about 80 active members, the chapter supports Badger students entering STEM fields — in science, technology, engineering and math.

Members of the Alpha Chapter lived and met in two houses at 619 and 621 N. Lake St. for decades, near Lake Mendota and UW-Madison’s Memorial Union.
