Research reveals insights into the rare coastal marten, an adorable carnivore


Oregon State University researchers have painted a clearer picture of the coastal marten, a secretive, ferret-sized forest carnivore renowned for its cuteness but nearly driven to extinction by human activity in the 20th century.

Scientists from OSU’s Institute for Natural Resources led a three-month project that used non-invasive survey tools – hair snares and remote cameras – to collect marten population and habitat data in a 150-square-mile area east of the northern California town of Klamath in 2022.

The Brotherhood Covenant


Becoming an Alpha Gamma Rho brother is a commitment that extends beyond college years. Upon initiation, members sign the Brotherhood Covenant, affirming their dedication to the principles of the Fraternity.

It serves as a reminder that being an AGR brother is not just about membership—it’s about responsibility, accountability, and living the values every day.

Leadership Rooted in Character


Alpha Gamma Rho has always believed leadership is earned through actions, not titles. As early leaders of the Fraternity expressed, the goal was never recognition for the name alone, but respect earned through character and integrity.

Brothers are encouraged to lead not because they belong to AGR, but because they embody its values.
