    What is the Ceres Encounter?

            The Ceres Encounter was formally known as RLC, which was a leadership program of FarmHouse and Ceres Fraternities.  The Ceres Encounter is an exciting leadership program geared toward all chapter members—officers, new members, future leaders and senior members. This event will  feature a variety of programs that encompass both personal and professional skill development, in addition to providing educational sessions focusing on chapter health issues, recruitment and risk management. This highly-interactive program consists of small group sessions, breakout discussions, problem-solving exercises, chapter development activities and much more. Review the schedule of events and register your chapter today!

    Our Mission

    The object of our Fraternity is to build the whole person, to effect bonds of sisterhood, and to unify Ceres as a comprehensive entity.  Ceres is committed to building qualities of leadership, to building meaningful fellowship, and to building a desire for scholastic achievement.  Our commitment to Ceres is predicated on the values and ideals descriptive of a rural environment and offers lifelong sisterhood to women with an appreciation of agriculture.  Membership in Ceres may at times require the sacrifice of time, pleasures, and comforts.
