History
The history of Alpha Gamma Rho reflects the character of a brotherhood coming together from all levels of society, sharing a common bond in their pursuit of academic and professional excellence in agriculture, natural resources, and similar industries.
Alpha Gamma Rho can trace its roots back to 1903 at the Ohio State University College of Agriculture. It was there the college's top students met in secret and first began talks of forming a Greek letter society. Plans developed slowly as seven students decided to bind together their cords of friendship and organize a fraternity. Brothers F.L. Allen, Rudo L. Fromme, W.A. Martin, E.S. Poston, G.T. Snyder, B.L. West, and R.C.E. Wallace founded Alpha Gamma Rho (ΑΓΡ) Fraternity in Oct. 10, 1904.

Why We Need More Skunks
Marie Tosa, a postdoctoral researcher at Oregon State University, led a 2½-year study in Oregon's Cascade Range, revealing new insights into the Western Spotted Skunk—a small, elusive species about which little is known. These skunks prefer remote, undisturbed mountainous habitats and are rarely seen, despite their range spanning from New Mexico to British Columbia. Threatened by human-induced land use changes, Tosa’s findings offer valuable data to guide future monitoring and conservation efforts, helping protect the species as environmental pressures intensify.

Pillars
The Four Pillars, built upon a firm foundation, support and maintain the integrity of this brotherhood. Each pillar, a cornerstone for success, an established principle all members of Alpha Gamma Rho pledge to live by through the Covenant.
Every member is required to sign the Covenant, available here, upon initiation.
The adoption of the Brotherhood Program was a defining moment for Alpha Gamma Rho, and a historic moment for Greek Life. Because of this program, Alpha Gamma Rho is the first fraternity to end pledging nationwide. It changed the philosophy on fraternity and ushered in an era of growth unlike any AGR had experienced before. In 1992, Alpha Gamma Rho did more than eliminate pledging; it redefined the fraternity experience.
