FARMHOUSE FRATERNITY Nebraska Chapter / University of Nebraska-Lincoln www.nebraskafarmhouse.org Spring 2015 O ver the past several months, you have received a number of communications detailing events and action plans about the future of our fraternity on campus. We want to continue to apprise you of changes happening on the UNL campus, as well as within FarmHouse. We are pleased to report that recently the Nebraska Chapter of FarmHouse Fraternity came to resolution and agreement on disciplinary sanctions with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln administration and the International Fraternity. Upon reaching sanction resolution with the university, the International Fraternity lifted the temporary suspension of chapter operations, effective January 26. The disciplinary sanctions placed on the chapter include: • Providing alcohol and drug education and programming for the entire UNL fraternity and sorority community. • Adhering to social event planning best practices and expectations. • Requiring accountability for members violating policy, should such occur. • Participating in extensive member-education focused on FarmHouse and campus policy and educational programs on alcohol behavior education, bystander intervention training, and other important risk management topics. • Providing expanded support for chapter officers, chapter advisors, and association board volunteers through educational workshops and resource offerings. • Establishing a memorial endowment in memory of Clayton Real '14.
