Ceres Women's International Fraternity was formed at the 1984 Farmhouse fraternity conclave. 3 interest groups were then formed out of existing little sister groups and little sister groups were "officially" done away with. Ceres was also formed to recognize the increasing number of women in agriculture. We still have our regional leadership conferences and international conclaves with Farmhouse. We have also modled our constitution, officer structure, and other things after FarmHouse.

It is important for us to be close to Farmhouse and the ag dept or college on our campus but sometimes it backfires because the other fraternities and sororities don't think of us as a
"real sorority" and don't think of inviting us to things.
