MoreThe records of the North Carolina State University chapter of FarmHouse Fraternity include the original petition for formation of the chapter, the constitution and by-laws, financial information, meeting minutes, membership rosters, other general information about the chapter and chapter activities, as well as various items issued by the national FarmHouse office, including handbooks and assorted publications. The purpose of FarmHouse Fraternity is to act as a national, non-Greek organization promoting brotherhood between students of good academic and moral standing, primarily those students whose career interests include an emphasis on agriculture. In 1952, a FarmHouse Club was established at NC State by professors in various agricultural disciplines who brought with them to State their own experiences with being members of FarmHouse at the universities they studied at as undergraduates. After a two-year probationary period as a "club," the NC State group applied to the national FarmHouse office for chapter status in 1954, and the university was granted a chapter in 1955. FarmHouse remains active at NC State as of 2008.
