Bob Hause was devoted to Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, a collegiate social fraternity for men who wish to devote themselves to the advancement of music in America.

He was initiated into Epsilon Chapter at the University of Michigan on November 21, 1955. He served as Faculty Advisor to the Zeta Psi chapter at East Carolina from 1972 to 1976. It was during this time that he composed the song Ode, in honor of the chapter’s twentieth anniversary in 1975. He was appointed Governor of Province 20 in 1976 and held that position for eighteen years. After his election to the Fraternity's National Executive Committee as Committeeman at Large in 1985, Brother Hause was elected President of the Sinfonia Foundation, a position he held until 1991. He was elected National President of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia at the 1991 National Convention, and served in that office until 1994.
