Zeta Psi Fraternity House is a historic fraternity house located at Easton, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. The house was built by the Tau Chapter, Zeta Psi fraternity associated with Lafayette College. It was built in 1909-1910, and is a 2 1/2 story, nine bay wide, rock-faced granite building with a dormered hipped roof. It features a heavy eave cornice, prominent chimney stacks, and projecting facade pavilions. The interior reflects both Colonial Revival and Arts and Crafts influenced in its design and detailing.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.[1]

As of September 19, 2014, the house is unoccupied, as the Zeta Psi fraternity was banned from Lafayette College for a period of 3 years. The fraternity is eligible to return to campus in the fall of 2017.
