"The original California Beta Charter was established in 1900. Our first Chapter House was located at 2709 Channing Way and was sold in 1922 for $26,500. That year, the ambitious Cal Betas raised enough money to purchase our current property at 2325 Piedmont Avenue for $52,500 from Berkeley's prominent Fish family. In addition to its beautiful terraced garden, the house featured nine fireplaces, six telephones, and a mere two showers. Things have really changed in 92 years! The house has grown to 14,000 square feet, but much of the original character remains. We believe our home is a reflection of our chapter—valuing tradition while welcoming fresh ideas." (
