Statement of Significant: The Sigma Kappa Mu Chapter House in Seattle, Washington is historically significant under criterion "A" for its direct association to the social history of the University of Washington. The Sigma Kappa Mu Chapter house represents the important role that was played by other sororities and fraternities on the campus during the 1920s and 1930s to the present. The sorority also meets National Register Criterion "C" as a property that embodies the distinctive characteristics of many Greek sorority and fraternity houses near the University of Washington. The sorority, completed in 1930, was designed by Seattle architect Joseph Skoog, and is a good example of a Greek house designed in the Tudor vein. The building's construction and continuous use as a sorority house justifies a period of significance extending from 1930 to 1957.
