Alpha Gamma Omega at SCU

Alpha Gamma Omega at SCU Tau chapter of Alpha Gamma Omega located at Santa Clara University. Alpha Gamma Omega is a National Christ-Centered social fraternity founded at UCLA in 192. E.

AGO now has chapters throughout California, Colorado, and North Carolina. During the school year of 1926-27, three students at the University of California, Los Angeles met during lunch for prayer and fellowship. Harlan Fischer, Frank Young, and James Carter looked forward to the establishment of a Christian club on campus. Fischer sent letters to 35 students during the Christmas break. A dinner m

eeting was held for these young men at the Green Dragon Cafe on January 7, 1927, and 16 gathered there to discuss their possibilities. Those present at the cafe felt that a Christian fraternity, founded on Christian ideals and fellowship, would be more reputable than a Christian club. Harlan Fischer appointed a committee to draw up a Constitution. This Constitution was submitted and accepted at the first official meeting of the Fraternity on February 15, 1927. Twelve men signed as charter members. In a 1944 letter to the Alpha Chapter at UCLA, founder E. Harlan Fischer wrote, “the primary purpose of AGO was to provide Christian fellowship for born again men thrown into an atmosphere of Godlessness and to give forth a testimony to others of the saving and keeping power of the Lord Jesus Christ.”

Today, over 90 years since the founding of Alpha Gamma Omega, the Fraternity is still committed to the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Thousands of men have served Christ at our chapters in California, Colorado, and North Carolina, and now serve him around the world. The colony of the Tau chapter began in January 2013, and became a chapter the following June, with a group of Christian men from Santa Clara University who wanted to work towards founding a Christ-centered fraternity that would build brotherhood among men and help each of them grow.

We know that you have definitely heard about Pi day, but did you know about this even better celebration called Tau Day!?! It’s essentially 2 Pi(e)s for the price of 1! We just thought we’d let you know about this other holiday, so you could celebrate with us...

Also, we just wanted to let you know that during this summer we’ll be keeping you updated on what we are doing during our break. Keep having fun y’all, and may God bless you on all your endeavors!

“AGO helped me take my faith a lot more seriously. Seeing so many other guys in the same situation I’m in (or further along) having such strong faith and community with each other… I went to a Christian high school, but people didn’t take their faith seriously. Seeing it at AGO… Everyone is so committed to each other and to God! In AGO it’s really focused on the depth of the relationships!”
- Gregor Limstrom from our Santa Clara chapter
