    Alpha Gamma Rho Information

  • What kind of Fraternity is Alpha Gamma Rho?

    AGR is two fraternities in one.

    Alpha Gamma Rho isn't like other fraternities. In AGR you'll get the opportunity to experience both a social and a professional fraternity. AGR does what you expect a social fraternity to do: socialize with other students on campus and people in the community. AGR is also like other social fraternities in that it has a strong group of members and a house you can live in during your college years. But AGR is more than just one of those strictly social fraternities; it is also a professional fraternity. All members of AGR have related career interests. AGR is for young men pursuing any career related to the agriculture, food or fiber industries. One more difference: at AGR there's no pledging. You join as an equal member. AGR does a careful review of all potential members in advance, so there's no need for a "weeding out" process.
     
    What is the pledge process like?


    There is no pledging in Alpha Gamma Rho!

    Alpha Gamma Rho is unique among fraternities. There is no hazing or pledging. We were one of the first fraternities to eliminate pledging and hazing.

    AGR has developed the Brotherhood Program to eliminate the possibility of hazing. It is an enlightened plan that will continue the tradition of leadership every Brother has come to expect from Alpha Gamma Rho.

     
     
     

     What to expect from AGR.

     

    You will find a welcoming environment that makes the transition from high school to college much easier.  You will learn how to interact with people from all different areas of agriculture.  Through your AGR experience, you will develop friendships and memories that will last a lifetime.     Members of AGR have more opportunities to grow academically, socially, and professionally. 

     

    We get you ready for the real world.

    Because AGR is a professional fraternity, we are concerned with promoting your career development during your college years and after graduation. We offer:

    * Regional career seminars for undergraduates.
    * Internships through alumni contacts.
    * Job networking.
    * Alumni associations with informative ag programming.

    It's a tough world out there, but thousands of AGR members worldwide are there to help you succeed. From Secretaries of Agriculture, to top managment, to presidents of food companies, to thousands of farmers and ranchers, AGR Alumni are a "who's who" in worldwide agriculture.
     
    We know the real reason you're in college.


    AGR never loses sight of why you're in college in the first place...to graduate and get a job. And to graduate, you need to do well academically. This is where belonging to a fraternity that is both social and professional helps most. Because everyone in AGR is in the same career field, it's easy to have peer study groups or find someone who has taken the same classes. And with the computer lab and organized class files, you will find the AGR house a good studying atmosphere that will help you to do your best.
     
    AGR isn't just for "farm boys."


    You don't have to study production agriculture to join AGR. AGR is for any young man preparing for any ag or food related career, including food science, biotechnology, agri-marketing, environmental science and many others. AGR has strong ties with 4-H and FFA, but even if you have never been a member of these groups, you can be a member of AGR.
     
    AGR men are leaders.


    Leadership is an important skill you'll learn or develop in Alpha Gamma Rho. Our members recoginize the need to develop leadership skills and take an active part in fraternity and university activities. Fraternity officer positions give you real leadership experience; you will use these skills to get involved in campus clubs, organizations or student government.
     
    AGR plays hard too.


    If all of this sounds like a lot of serious work, don't worry. AGR knows how to have a lot of fun, too. Intramurals are a great way to show our AGR competitiveness in a variety of both team and individual sports. From softball and water volleyball, to flag football and dart tournaments, intramurals are lots of fun, and they provide a chance for AGRs to have a great time together. Plus, AGR has a full calender of social events each term, including responsible parties, tailgates and sorority functions. These social events let you balance the professional and social aspects of the AGR fraternity experience.
