“As we hired our Director of Sorority and Fraternity Life at Cornell, I knew I wanted to do something different than the standard higher education search firm. I needed someone who was deeply connected in the sorority and fraternity industry, dependable and could learn our culture and constituencies quickly. Christian Wiggins was an outstanding pick! His approach and creativity with designing and executing our search was essential in our overall success. Christian helped us recruit and cultivate some of the top candidates in the country. He is dependable, reliable and a true pleasure to work with. I highly recommend him as a partner and consultant to anyone who is looking for a strategic leader who will deliver high quality results.”

“Christian has been amazing. He has helped our division realign our staff resources, identify and guide us through hiring processes and has provided excellent executive coaching to our Director for the TTU Office of Fraternity & Sorority Life. He has been a valuable sounding board for the staff and has provided a different but spot on perspective on the current landscape of the overall fraternity and sorority community to help our staff make informed decisions. Additionally, he has provided excellent advice and support to me as well as our FSL staff and helped strategize and prioritize community initiatives. He has truly become an important part of our team as a consultant. I highly recommend his services. He is phenomenal.”

"Christian Wiggins and I worked together as exec colleagues for FarmHouse for six years before he started his consulting firm. I wanted to continue this valuable partnership and am so glad we have! He's been an outstanding extension of our Foundation team for the last two years and running. Christian is a trusted advisor and strategic partner whose insight has strengthened every aspect of our fundraising efforts. From helping to shape our annual fundraising plans to enhancing leadership giving and Trustee engagement, Christian brings deep experience and thoughtful guidance. He is instrumental during our FH Month of Giving—helping us focus our strategy, refine our outreach, push our ambitious goals, support our volunteers, and maximize our efforts, resulting in back-to-back record-breaking FH Month of Giving for 2024 and 2025. His calm, clear approach and understanding of fraternal dynamics, our membership and fundraising best practices make him an exceptional resource. I’m grateful for his partnership, friendship, and deep care for Farmouse. I am proud to recommend him to organizations considering hiring him as a strategic partner."
