The Beta Theta Pi Fraternity House is a historic fraternity house located at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign in Champaign, Illinois. Built in 1912, the building served as a house for the university's Sigma Rho chapter of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity, which was established in 1902. The house, along with the Kappa Sigma Fraternity House, established a new fraternity district to the west of the university campus. Architect Frederick J. Klein of Peoria designed the Classical Revival building. The three-story house has a two-story front porch supported by four Tuscan columns and four pilasters and topped by a balcony. The house is still used by Beta Theta Pi, which is still an active fraternity at the university.^[2]

The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 28, 1989.^[1]
