	Brief History FarmHouse Fraternity was founded in 1905 at the University of Missouri. While attending a YMCA bible study, a group of young men studying agriculture decided to form a club, rent a house, and live together. Over the next few years those men faced many challenges that further strenghthened their bond. These are our Founding Fathers: D. Howard “Daddy” Doane (1883-1984), Robert F. Howard (1883-1963), Claude B. Hutchison (1885-1980), Henry H. Krusekopf (1886-1979), Earl W. “Farmer” Rusk (1885-1968), Henry P. Rusk (1884-1954), Melvin E. Sherwin (1881-1924). The fraternity nationalized in 1915, adopting a national constitution and by-laws, and held its first Conclave in 1917. Continuing to grow, FarmHouse expanded to many other universities nationwide. FarmHouse Fraternity became FarmHouse International Fraternity in 1974 with the chartering of a chapter in Alberta, Canada.
