The Pi Chapter House of Psi Upsilon Fraternity is a building on the Syracuse University campus.^[2] It was designed by Wellington W. Taber and built for Psi Upsilon fraternity in 1898.^[2]^[3] Pi Chapter House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.^[3]

Pi Chapter House is architecturally significant for its Neoclassical design and its historic role as "the oldest intact surviving fraternity residence at Syracuse University and for its association with the emergence of fraternal organizations as major components of Syracuse college life at the turn of the 20th century."^[4]

The building underwent a $350,000 facade renovation in phases between 2009 and 2013. The crowning touches were completed in September 2014.^[2]^[5] The renovations were intended to restore the house to its historical architectural integrity. The exterior was painted white, replacing the darker yellow tint enduring since the mid-1970s.
