Since 1920, Acacia has called Indiana University home, and for nearly as long, Ferguson House has stood as the physical heart of that legacy. You built something here that outlasted trends, setbacks, and decades. Now we're doing the work to bring it fully back, and we can't do it without you.
Today's chapter is small in number but serious in purpose. We're rebuilding Acacia from the ground up: recruiting new members, restoring our presence on campus, and this fall, moving back into Ferguson House itself. Every brother who came before us is part of that story, and we want you to be part of what comes next too.
Whether it's been five years or fifty since you were active, we'd love to hear from you. Update your contact information, come back for an event, or reach out directly. The chapter you helped build is still here, and it's growing again.
