ecruitment is again a focus as the members embark on a new school
year. ere are currently 18 members in the chapter with hopes to
grow membership through the fall and spring semesters. ere are
currently only two members that may be moving on from the chapter this
school year, which provides an opportunity to make some progress.
International Leadership Consultant Sam Mcfarland was able to visit and
assist the chapter through formal recruitment this fall. His feedback was
positive and he believes the men are doing what they need to recruit solid
members. He also acknowledged the amount of competition we have at
WSU with 27 active fraternities. We need to use what sets FarmHouse apart
to draw in the members we are looking for.
With that said, there is already focus from the members toward the future.
How do we get back above 20 members—to 25, to 30-plus? A large compo-
nent is alumni involvement. Please consider your connections to Potential
New Members (PNMs) or anyone that will be graduating high school this
upcoming year and would be a good fit for FarmHouse at WSU. Please feel
free to contact Recruitment Chairman Nick English '17 at (509) 285-1304
or me. We will make sure to treat your leads with the utmost appreciation
and keep each person that provides a lead apprised of any progress made.
e association provided funding in spring 2018 for a recruitment package
from FH international. is included a pop-up tent, retractable banners, a
table cover, and swag that supports an updated and professional look to the
recruitment effort. e members have already put this to use during the
summer, fall recruitment, and up on Glen Terrell Mall.
Members plan to help out again this coming spring at the 2019 FFA State
Convention as it continues to provide an opportunity to get FarmHouse's
name out to potential incoming students. ey also developed scholarships
last year with little success, but plan to get started sooner this fall for the
same opportunities. Scholarship information will be sent out to all high
school agriculture teachers this fall. If you have friends in ag education,
please tell them to keep an eye out.
