Really interesting that FarmHouse and Triangle have the same Founders' Day.

What's also interesting to note is that both were formed for students in certain majors. In FarmHouse's case it was agriculture. For Triangle it was engineering. Both organizations have since expanded membership eligibility criteria.
And of course, Acacia was originally for students who were Masons.

I always have a soft-spot for the fraternities with non-Greek letter names.
