A second chapter, founded independently of the Missouri chapter but sharing the same ideals, was founded at the University of Nebraska in 1911. After communication between the two groups, a third chapter was founded at the University of Illinois in 1918.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 1905-1914 A Humble Beginning )〕 FarmHouse became a national organization in 1921 by approval of each of the active houses.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 1915-1924 Shaping the Future )〕 FarmHouse joined the North-American Interfraternity Conference as a junior member in 1944. Because of its size at the time, eight chapters, it was not considered eligible for full membership. With twelve chapters and three colonies, FarmHouse became a full-fledged member on March 25, 1953.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 1935-1944 from Depression to World War II )〕 FarmHouse dropped out of the NIC from 1971 to 1981, as did many other national and international fraternities.〔 On April 20, 1974, the FarmHouse Club at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, was installed as a new chapter, thereby making FarmHouse an international fraternity.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 1965-1974 Overcoming Conflict )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「FarmHouse」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
