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.
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 agricultural 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 management, 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 state of the art computers and libraries in most
AGR houses, you'll find the good studying atmosphere you need
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 recognize 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.
Lean on us.
AGR members realize they are students of their university
and non-university communities. AGR tries to be a good neighbor
by doing community service work and completing philanthropic
projects which help the community.
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 usually has a full calendar 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.
