Common Questions
What kind of fraternity is AGR?
AGR is two fraternities in one- it's both a social and professional fraternity. All members of AGR have related interests and prioritize the community aspect of student-life on campus.
Do all members have Ag majors or come from an Ag background?
Nope. AGR is for any young man preparing for any career, including business, engineering, finance, environmental science, and many others.
What is the pledge process like?
There is no pledging in Alpha Gamma Rho. We have developed the Brotherhood Program to eliminate the possibility of hazing in order to focus on our tradition of leadership.
What can I expect?
We pride ourselves on being campus leaders as well as understanding the benefits of being a social group. Being a part of AGR is choosing to be connected with a network of well-rounded men across the country for your entire life.
Why do I have to pay dues?
Dues pay for things such as our professional and social events. They pay for travel costs to and from national events. Lastly, they pay for lawyers and insurance from our nationals if anything were to happen at any AGR event.
What would I get out of joining AGR?
A lot! Not only to you gain professional skills to help you in your future career, but you gain social skills as well. Some things you can expect to gain with AGR are life long friends, a great college experience, letters of recommendation and so much more.
What about the time commitment?
We participate in many activities with the school and within our own chapter. However, you are not expected to have perfect attendance and we are more than willing to work with conflicting schedules!
What if my parents are concerned about joining?
We can understand your parent's concern, but this is an opportunity to let AGR make you a better man. If your parent's decision is a key factor for joining, we encourage them to look at the parents section on our national website!
