Who are we? The name FarmHouse was chosen to signify the membership of the organization and indicate pride in and the importance of our agricultural heritage. Since our founding, our house has diversified its membership with members of different majors. Approximately one-third of the Chapter members are in the College of Agriculture. However, our membership includes majors from Computer Engineering to Business Administration.
Excellence FarmHouse is a leader on campus and throughout the country. FarmHouse men are revered and respected in their careers. Men can be found in many departmental organizations, interest groups, judging teams, and university/community activities.
Faith THE OBJECT The object of our Fraternity is to promote good fellowship, to encourage studiousness, and to inspire its members in seeking the best in their chosen lines of study as well as in life. Progress shall mark our every step; the spirit of congeniality shall reign at all times; and every member shall be honest with himself as with his brothers. Men elected to our membership are considered to be of good moral character, to be high in scholarship, to have the capacity for meeting and making friends, and to give promise of service to their fellowmen and to the world. To be and become such may at times require a sacrifice of time, pleasure and comforts.
Alcohol Policy We feel that the consumption of alcohol is a personal choice and should not be influenced by one‟s living environment. We are a dry fraternity and do not allow alcohol in the chapter house. In fact, we go a step further by prohibiting alcohol at all of our functions.
