A QUICK GUIDE TO STAYING
Connected FarmHouse and Social Media Not only does FHHQ have social media accounts, so do our chapters! A few years ago, The International Fraternity initiated a new process to track a chapters progress and encourage our membership to share the incredible things they did each semester through social media accounts. This program, Excelsior, rewards chapters for posting to social media. Some of the accomplishments most commonly shared are philanthropy events, social events, GPA achievements and other awards. To check out their latest news, look for our chapters on your preferred social media platform, and give them a follow! (If you have trouble finding an account, try searching within the list of who FHHQ “follows” to find local chapters). @FarmHouseFraternity @FarmHouseFraternity FarmHouse International Fraternity

Business. While it sounds simple, there are a litany of ways to run a business through social media. You can sell products, recruit employees, engage clients, find a job, or reach untapped markets. Some business
use social media as a way to further express the personality of their brand. This could be anything from sharing a trade article to posting a funny photo. Curiosity! There is a whole new world evolving at our fingertips. Much of what is out there may not interest you, but there are also dozens of online forums, communities and websites dedicated to providing the best resources, information and opportunities for progress. It is always okay to ask for help. Social
There is a whole new world evolving at our fingertips. media is meant to be fun. Feel free to ask questions to your FarmHouse brothers (or younger family members and friends). Even if their patience appears to run thin, they will enjoy helping you.
