    Start Promoting Your Organization Today

    Like it or not but the pandemic taught us many things. The most important thing it taught us is that life is unpredictable, and it can change at any time. It showed that just in a matter of time, the world as we know it could change, and we will be without a choice but to adapt to the new state. 

     Thus we grew accustomed to the phrase “New Normal.” With masks on, we roam around the streets and do everything else. It affected the way we commute; it affected the way we do business as well. With more and more people moving towards online business models, brands are now thinking about something unique, something different than before.

    Fun Facts: What is a Fraternity Sweetheart?

    A fraternity sweetheart is a woman chosen by the fraternity's men to serve as the chapter's female face; she volunteers for activities and projects weekly and is also invited to a dinner at the house.

    The fraternity sweetheart is adored and treated with total decency and respect.   She should be of strong moral character, have decent grades, and talk in front of a group of people. Being attractive is nice, but it won't get you the title of sweetheart.

    Questions to ask Sorority Sisters during the Rush

    Sorority recruiting is similar to a work interview, except it is much more relaxed, happy, and, of course, louder. There will occasionally be a *dreaded* gap in your conversations with sorority sisters.
    “Do you have any questions?” the sorority sister asks.
    When this happens, you should be prepared with your own set of questions to ask sorority sisters during the rush to show the sister that you are serious about their sisterhood. You show genuine interest in a sorority sisterhood by asking her questions. You also express that you're eager to learn about their sisterhood. And this is a characteristic that all sororities want in PNMs!

    What is Greek life in college?

    College is more than simply a place where you can study, complete homework, and attend lectures. College is also an important element of your social growth. Greek life is a prominent social group that students join to get more active.

    Greek life is a deeply established tradition in American college society. Greek life in college may be traced back to the eighteenth century when students felt burdened by the educational system's strict standards and sought to join together to express themselves and engage in additional debate outside of class. Students would establish deeper bonds and arrange activities that brought people together on a social and intellectual level. While they began as clubs, it became popular in the 1980s for students to live together in a shared house.

    Farmhouse Fraternity

    Seven guys from the University of Missouri founded Farmhouse Fraternity as an agricultural club on April 15, 1905. The club's main principles sprang from talks at Sunday afternoon Bible sessions, where D. Howard Doane, Henry Rusk, and Earl Rusk tried to foster camaraderie among College of Agriculture members.

    Doane is regarded as the founder of our fraternity because he came up with the initial concepts.

    The founders recognized that the farmer’s job is often criticized in our society and so put a high priority on a strong work ethic and Christian principles, both of which are essential for rural living. The FarmHouse was recognized as a fraternity for the first time in 1924.

    What is a Sorority Squat?

    One of the most essential aspects of joining a sorority is capturing the experience of recruiting, throwbacks, and nostalgia.

    Fraternity Recruitment

     A fraternity is a group of men who develop a brotherhood based on shared aims and aspirations. They make a lifetime commitment to one another. A fraternity's members pool their efforts, camaraderie, and knowledge. These individuals work together to study, grow and strengthen the fraternity, often known as a Greek organization. Their shared experience forges lifelong bonds.

    The process of joining a college fraternity depends on the college and the organization. In most cases, recruiting occurs at the start of the fall semester. However, some institutions demand that the process begins in the middle or near the end of the summer to have enough time to settle in and get their classes organized. Many fraternities rush in spring, particularly if their fall pledge class didn't reach the quota.

    Even while the rush week is only a few days long, it is simply one component of a larger picture.
