Purdue FarmHouse
Building the Whole Man
Since 1952, the Purdue Chapter of FarmHouse Fraternity has welcomed strong-willed and intelligent members into our Fraternity. Founded by a group of young and courageous individuals who took a leap of faith to form this chapter, our hope is to keep their legacy alive for generations to come.
We encourage intellectual growth and success by offering alumni networking opportunities and a variety of events throughout the year, which encourage bonding between members and help create a foundation of lasting friendships.
A Message From Our President
It is truly a privilege to lead a chapter of individuals with differing interests and passions united by common values.
Since 1905, our fraternity and the men that comprise it have prided themselves on leadership, scholarship, and fellowship. FarmHouse is where many respected student leaders on Purdue's campus call home. Members of our house are involved in organizations such as Purdue Student Government, Purdue Foundation Student Board, Grand Prix, and many more. I am proud to be a member of FarmHouse Fraternity Purdue Chapter, and am eager to see what this year has in store for us. I invite you to take some time to explore our website and get to know our exceptional community.
