FARMHOUSE FRATERNITY 4 T he past few months have proven to be some of the more challenging, yet rewarding times during my term as president. The chapter has been faced with an adverse situation of moving into a brand-new house where culture and traditions needed to be rekindled after over a year of separation. Both our freshmen and sophomores were unfamiliar with everyone being under one roof and instilling the rich heritage we hold within our organization has required strong guidance by our upperclassmen. In light of these events, however, FarmHouse has continued to shine bright through their scholarship, leadership, and excellence. During the summer, we received results from the university notifying our chapter we earned a 3.589 cumulative GPA for the spring 2018 semester. This marks the fifth consecutive semester our chapter has placed first among fraternities on campus, and I see no signs of our members' hard work stopping. Additionally, our recruitment team successfully recruited 27 new members to our organization, and they are already displaying vast amounts of promise in their young careers. Other exciting events happening this semester include philanthropies, formals, Homecoming, and brotherhood gatherings scattered when there is time. When reflecting on the time since the semester has started, I am humbled by the amount of alumni and families that have graciously donated their time and efforts to see this organization succeed. FarmHouse is not a four-year commitment, but a lifelong commitment, and I am proud to say this fraternity has gained a remarkable amount of momentum in the last few years by displaying excellent academics, high retention rates through recruitment, and a chapter house that will be a top-of-the-line facility for years to come. I cannot give enough thanks to everyone who has positively impacted the Nebraska FarmHouse Chapter.
