A Brotherhood Built to Last
Alpha Gamma Rho was founded on the belief that brotherhood should stand for something greater. From its earliest days in 1908, the Fraternity was created with intention—bringing together young men who valued honor, responsibility, and leadership.
What began as a shared vision has grown into a lifelong bond that continues to shape generations of brothers.

History
The National Fraternity of Alpha Gamma Rho became a reality on April 4, 1908, when two local fraternities combined. Alpha Gamma Rho founded at The Ohio State University on October 10, 1904, and Delta Rho Sigma founded at the University of Illinois on February 6, 1906.
These two groups are responsible for forming a Fraternity that has grown far beyond what was expected. As Brother Poston (charter member from Ohio State) stated, “From the start, it was our ambition that the name Alpha Gamma Rho in every agricultural college would stand for all that is honorable and just.” Our Fraternity has elevated the social, physical, spiritual, academic and professional status of thousands of young men.
