Expansion Manual

PURPOSE

The purpose of this manual is to provide an outline for anyone - alumni, as well as interested students, faculty, and businessmen who are not FarmHouse members - who desire to participate in the establishment of a FarmHouse Fraternity Chapter. The information included herein as a guide to the formation of a FarmHouse Interest Group, Colony, Chapter and Association, as well as the relationships between them, has been molded and shaped from experience and tested ideas. It is recognized, of course, that local campus conditions may require adaptation.

THE OBJECT

"The object of our Fraternity is to promote good fellowship, to encourage studiousness, and to inspire its members in seeking the best in their chosen lines of study as well as in life. Progress shall mark our every step; the spirit of congeniality shall reign at all times; and every member shall be honest with himself as with his brothers. Men elected to our membership are considered to be of good moral character, to be high in scholarship, to have the capacity for meeting and making friends, and to give promise of service to their fellowmen and to the world. To be and become such may at times require a sacrifice of time, pleasure and comforts."
