I know there are certain fraternities in the NIC that are geared to a certain major (FarmHouse and Triangle are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head). Do you have to be in that major to join? If so, isn't that discrimination? On the other side of the coin, does Triangle, for example, have to have a certain %age of engineering majors? I mean, what would be the point of having an engineering fraternity full of education majors.
I hope someone can answer this - we didn't have any of these type of fraternities at my school and the whole concept confuses me.

I'm a member of a social / professional women's fraternity ceres. We were formed out of farmhouse little sister groups in 1984 and have grown from there as more women are studing ag now. I don' know about triangle. But we an FH don't require you be an ag major only an appriciation of ag or the rural lifestyle that it represents. So we are differnt than most other greeks on or campus. We are more casual and we get a lot of rural girls who wouldn't go greek otherwise. I like to think that having chapters like these add diversity b/c we have a lot of people who wouldn't be interested otherwise.
