"Acacia - Where Excellence Meets Brotherhood"
III
Brotherhood
“Brotherhood is not just a bond between individuals, it’s a bond that unites generations.”
Acacia - An Achievement Academy
Acacians understand that being a brother signifies more than the standard fraternal experience. Yes, we know how to have fun. But we also realize that our larger goal is to strive to make a tangible impact within our brotherhood, during our days on campus and then later as alumni in the communities where we reside and in our professional lives. All of this while building numerous friendships that last a lifetime.
Brotherhood is not just a bond between individuals but also a bond that unites generations of men. With an historic focus on strong values, character and integrity as stated on our mission statement, it is no wonder that Pudue Acacia has become a platform for creating leaders. Leaders instrumental in the development of the early University and leaders in all walks of life throughout the United States and across many generations of men.
Active / Alumni Engagement
Not just 4 years ... 4 Life!
Dinner with Men of Acacia
Once a month, an alumni is a guest story teller in casual dinner setting with all the active brothers and pledges. Presentation slides and professional topics are not allowed.
The objectives are simple:
I. Bring Back Traditions
Many traditions have lapsed. The DMA guest described a tradition he remembered fondly that so actives will discuss and hopefully reinstate it. "Did you realize that they stopped playing 'Kentucky Derby' song before dinner?" Now they do it again!
II. Increase Alumni/Active Interaction
Actives are always interested in learning about life at Acacia in the past from cool older guys...You're a cool guy with stories. Why not share?
III. Experience the Positive Changes First Hand
Great things have been going on at Acacia. Pledges are top-tier, the house is looking great, actives are engaged. See them first hand!
DMAs are on Fridays. Click below to check availability. Also you'll find videos from previous DMA guests.
