Mission4-H House is a cooperative sorority that serves as a home away from home for 55 women at the University of Illinois at a lower cost. The sorority was founded in 1934 by 4-H member Mary McKee. In 1980, we joined the University of Illinois Greek System, and the opportunities available to 4-H House women were broadened. We are involved in numerous activities throughout the year, including Little Sister and Little Brother Weekends, Mom's and Dad's Day Weekends, Formals, Exchanges with Fraternities, and Philanthropic Activities.Membership BenefitsHere at 4-H House we do all of our own cooking and cleaning. Jobs are divided by members of the house based on seniority. Girls have the option of cook or dish crews, and either a shorter, daily cleaning house duty or a more intensive weekly house duty. This helps keep costs at a minimum and teaches valuable life skills.Member of 4-H House also govern themselves. House meeting and chapter meetings are held on Monday evenings. All house members, including new members, elect the officers for the house each semester. The ten house members elected to the Executive Board provide the main leadership for the house. There is also a Junior Executive Board consisting of the remaining elected officers. They plan activities throughout the semester such as rowdy half hours and study breaks during Finals Week.
