We have both Alpha Gamma Rho and FarmHouse at Idaho for the men, and Sigma Alpha for the women. Washington State has both of the mens groups, and Ceres for women. One difference is that Ceres operates with the NPC groups at Wazzu, but Sigma Alpha doesn't at UI as they are considered a professional organization. AGR still has the requirement of being a Natural Resources of Agricultural major, but FH doesn't anymore.
The school operates many different farms, labs, and areas around the states students work with. The groups are also involved with Future Farmers of America and 4H locally, and recruit incoming students that way. The AGRs have been having a stellar year, with the highest grades out of all the fraternities (3.34), with no member being deficient (below a 2.0) in grades. The only group to have higher grades was a sorority with a 3.38, and every other groufraternity or sorority had at least one member deficient. Not too shabby for a group with a limited pool of applicants, and the last installed fraternity (Sigma Phi Epsilon is still a colony).
ladygreek - many people outside the greek system can't remember FarmHouse's name, and call it Animal House.
