-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. But AGR is more than just one of those strictly social fraternities; it is also a professional fraternity
. Brothers in AGR often gain a degree in the studies of agriculture, forestry, environmental science, spacial science, engineering, geology, biology, and other life sciences. But don't think AGR only accepts men from these majors. The Beta Chi Chapter at SFA has had brothers succeed in the fields of business, criminal justice, geography, history, kinesiology, and political science.
-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. 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 and life science.
-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 brothers in AGR are from similar career fields, it's easy to have peer study groups or find someone who has taken the same classes.
-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 AGR's 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.
