Dear Students,

The men of the Alpha Tau Zeta Colony of FarmHouse International Fraternity welcome you to The Ohio State University. It is truly an accomplishment to be taking this next big step in furthering your education. You will find that college is a new and different experience that will open many doors for you in life. Your formal education that you receive here at The Ohio State University will take you far on your journey toward success, but to realize your full potential; involvement is key to providing a well rounded base in which to grow. At a university such as Ohio State there is something for everyone to involve themselves with. Whether it is our world-class athletics, student government, service organizations, Greek life, or a balanced combination thereof, there is something here at Ohio State waiting for you.

One of the greatest opportunities for involvement here at Ohio State is through our Greek Community. The Alpha Tau Zeta Colony of FarmHouse is proud to lead the nation as the first agriculturally based fraternity established 112 years ago with a rich tradition rooted within the university. Throughout this long history our chapter has opened its doors to aspiring men from all over Ohio and the U.S. helping to mold doctors, lawyers, veterinarians and members of many other professional fields along the way. The current members of FarmHouse build upon this traditional, professional focus in the classroom where our fraternity’s members study the fields of Agriculture, Engineering, Business, Communications, Natural Resources, Political Science, and many more.

However, the fraternity’s commitment to shaping new leaders in Agriculture and related fields does not end with high scholarship. We value campus and community involvement, where we have members active in clubs such as the Undergraduate Student Government, University Ambassadors, Agricultural Education Society, TBDBITL, SPHINX Senior Class Honoary and the Homecoming Court. Through our member’s involvement you can see that Ohio State can be a community as large or small as you would like to make it.

Congratulations on your accomplishments and your future success and involvement at The Ohio State University. My fellow fraternity brothers and I will be looking forward to meeting you in the upcoming weeks.

Sincerely,

C. Stew Kitchen
Chapter President
