| Our Four Aspects |
| FarmHouse follows four main aspects in building men throughout their time in college - spiritual, intellectual, socal/moral and physical. By developing each area, we believe we prepare men for not only a better college experience but also a more successful life outside of the university setting. Spiritual FarmHouse encourages its members to grow in their faith and in their ties with their church. In the words of one FarmHouse man, "The very essence of fraternity is the bond of the spirit. Religious faith, while an intimately personal thing, is to be nurtured, not diminished, by the common life of the brotherhood." FarmHouse promotes the Spiritual aspect by offering Bible studies at the house, encouraging members to become involved with Campus Ministries, and offering accountability groups. Intellectual It is the aim of FarmHouse to amplify the cultural and intellectual atmosphere and environment of the university. This is accomplished by providing surroundings conducive to study, by offering academic assistance, and by helping a man to plan his time. FarmHouse encourages the Intellectual aspect by, offering a "24-hour quiet" Educational wing, keeping a file of tests and assignments, and by hosting dinners to honor who meet the house GPA goal. Social/Moral Society demands of us that we live within the laws which it has written. It demands that we look at every act we perform in relationship to its effects on those with whom we live. Additionally our love for our fellow man demands discipline and concern for our every act. It is the aim of FarmHouse to create opportunities for its members to develop this sort of social concern and refinement. The Chapter participates in all Greek homecoming events as well as Greek Week. The Chapter also hosts numerous date parties and two formal dances a year. Throughout the semester, FarmHouse also holds functions with different sororities on campus. Physical To be mentally alert, productive, and a contributing member to the Fraternity and society, a man needs to be in good health. It is essential to his well being that he eat well balanced meals, have an adequate amount of rest, receive a proper amount of exercise, and that his emotional status be healthy. FarmHouse places a high priority on physical well being. We compete in every intramural team sport, and members also compete in individual competitions. Within the house, the Chapter hosts basketball tournaments and other periodic competitions. |
