Andronicus headquarters is located at 715 W 28th Street. The Victorian style house's engagement in (and recession from) the hustle and bustle of 28th Street expresses the fraternity's distinctive tradition of being both social and professional. Every Monday, the brothers of Andronicus gather for a truly home-cooked meal (professional chefs be damned) to kick start another stress-filled week at school. As a home away from home, this is where everyone gets to enjoy the company of their very unique family.
A great portion of the fraternity lives in this structure, which is under perpetual renovation. A commemorative library was built in 2005 to honor the life and influence of Brother Pierre Koenig, and more recently, the main Chapter room is in for a new splash of color and general restoration. And more amusingly, our house has been featured extensively in pop media; along with Mountain Dew and Sprint ads, APX famously hosted the Orange County movie's party scene. |

The Andronicus Chapter maintains a strong bond with the USC School of Architecture by volunteering their time to various events. Members connect with other students, faculty and administration by serving as: · Explore USC tour guides and hosts · First year orientation assistants · First year coffee night baristas · Hosts at Student/Faculty Dinner · Semesterly BBQ grill masters · Clipper lab assistants · Teaching assistants for several architecture courses Every semester, a Student/Faculty dinner is hosted in which students and professors gather to wine, dine and discuss everything under the sun. While it is always a great opportunity to collect critiques on a current assignment or inquire about firms they work for, this is the time to connect with professors on a more personal level. Conversations begin to steer more towards old college anecdotes or common interests or politics or even cheese. You begin to talk to a new friend. Andronicus of Cyrrhus was a Greek astronomer best known as the architect behind the horologium at Athens called the Tower of the Winds. Andronicus also built a multifaced sundial in the sanctuary of Poseidon on the Greek island of Tenos. (Britannica) |
