After finishing its 3 Million Dollar state of the art fraternity house in December of 2008, the Beta Sigma Chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon began to focus on its other house next door. Tau Kappa Epsilon has been on the USC row since 1948 and still owns and occupies the house that they originally started in. The Beta Sigma Alumni Association has now begun renovation of the original house to better suit the needs of the current members of TKE at USC. The project begins with the $50,000 renovation of the two bathrooms upstairs. Both Bathrooms have been completed.

The active chapter also finished construction of a full sized regulation beach volleyball court this summer.
