FarmHouse - University of Nebraska

FarmHouse Fraternity | Nebraska Chapter 3601 Apple Street, Lincoln, NE 68503 Dear Alumni of FarmHouse, On behalf of the Fraternity & Sorority Life staff at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, congratulations to the Nebraska FH Association Board on the decision to pursue new campaign initiatives for the chapter. The University, and in particular Fraternity & Sorority Life, appreciates the leadership FarmHouse undergraduates have provided the UNL community for almost 120 years. It's a pleasure to get to work with your undergraduate members through their leadership positions across campus. In addition, your alumni have assumed key business, professional, political and academic positions throughout the nation. There's ample cause for pride. I am pleased to report the fraternity and sorority community continues to thrive UNL. Our data shows us members in the Interfraternity community have a first to second year retention rate of 91% versus 80% for non-members. We also know the four-year graduation rate for Interfraternity members is 20 points higher than non-members. The living spaces provided by chapters play an important part in creating the Husker residential experience on this campus. Many fraternities and sororities are planning and carrying out renovations to improve the membership experience. These projects can only happen with the support of alumni. The decision to continue provide an excellent living and social environment will enhance the overall university experience for our undergraduates. Fraternity and sorority members remain loyal to our University. A high proportion of leadership in the University of Nebraska Alumni Association and the University of Nebraska Foundation are alumni members of the FSL community, and several who are FH alumni. A 2021 Gallup survey reinforced how important the fraternity and sorority life experience in college is to alumni after they graduate. The survey showed alumni members felt more prepared for life after college, they're more likely to thrive across their personal and professional lives, and they're more likely to be engaged with their alma maters and in their communities. This commitment is a direct output of fraternity and sorority membership. Thank you for your consideration of this campaign. Go Big Red! Leigh R.
