Who we are and what we do:
Welcome to the Purdue Chapter of Acacia Fraternity. We are members of the national Acacia Fraternity organization, and subscribe to the principles and values inherent to that membership. Acacia prides itself on developing leaders, high academic achievement, Human Service, and strong brotherhood. The values of Truth, Morality, and Wisdom in all things are pillars upon which the network of Acacia chapters across the country stand on. We strive each and every day to communicate these values to others on not only the Purdue Campus but in the surrounding community. Our beautiful chapter house, located at 608 Waldron Street, is the home to our fraternity. Inside you will find many brothers hard at work, bettering themselves academically, enjoying social life, developing lifelong friendships, and living our Ritual. We are a short walk away from campus, as well as Mackey Arena and Ross-Ade Stadium.
Members of our chapter are highly involved outside of the chapter house. We have members in leadership roles within the Interfraternity Council, within our Acacia Fraternity's International Council, Boiler Gold Rush, intercolleigiate athletics, and a diverse collection of academic and special interest clubs. Our members are also volunteers with the local community and the Purdue Greek community.
Should you come and visit us, you may find some of us playing a little 3-on-3 on our very own basketball court, tossing around beanbags in the front yard, or outside grilling burgers. Down in the sun porch, you'll find a quiet study area that compliments our brand new library. A scholarship fund in the hundreds of thousands encourages brothers to work hard to make grades. In the basement, you may find us watching a movie or the big game on our new 50" plasma television. Whatever your interests, you will find people to share them with at Acacia.
Recruitment!
At Purdue, fraternity recruitment is informal. This means that many chapters hold recruitment events throughout the fall semester, and any candidate can visit any chapter he chooses. Please visit our Recruitment page for more information on going Greek and joining Acacia. However, membership development does not stop upon initiation. Acacia recently implemented a new development program nation-wide. This program emphasizes developing all aspects of a successful brother, including cultural awareness, career preparation, and academic performance. Please see the Cornerstones tab for more information.
Please note: While the official IFC recruitment period comes in the beginning of both the fall and spring semesters, any potential new members are welcome to the chapter house at any time.
