ALPHA GAMMA RHO:
(February, 2003) Alpha Gamma Rho is not 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.  AGR is also like other social fraternities in that it has a strong group of members and a house you can live in during your college years.  But AGR is more than just one of those strictly social fraternities; it is also a professional fraternity.  All members of AGR have related career interests. AGR is for young men pursuing any career related to the agriculture, food or fiber industries. 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 everyone in AGR is in the same career field, it's easy to have peer study groups or find someone who has taken the same classes. And with state of the art computers and libraries in most AGR houses, you'll find the good studying atmosphere you need to do your best.  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. 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.

Improving Communities - much is expected of those to whom much is given. Business professionals who seek to improve the communities in which they do business improve lives and develop goodwill.  Our members actively give back to their communities through volunteer activities and monetary support.  Enhancing the Fraternity for Life - college chapters serve as living laboratories for classroom concepts and professional conduct.  In turn, lessons learned in the Fraternity prepare members for success in the business world.  Because they recognize the value and importance of our Fraternity, our members are united in their passion to build a legacy for the future. They support the Fraternity through volunteer leadership and monetary gifts. Our Foundation - the Alpha Kappa Psi Foundation was established in 1951 as a public, charitable and educational foundation.  Its mission is "Providing resources for enhancing the educational experience of future business leaders."  Currently, the Foundation distributes more than 30 grants and scholarships to undergraduate and graduate students.

Working together with these fellow believers, our goal is to help give every man, woman, and child tin the entire world an opportunity to find new life in Jesus Christ.  Our commitment is based on our Lord’s command: “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20 (NAS).  In the Fresno ministry, our mission is “to be loving ambassadors, firmly grounded in truth, actively bringing light to the darkness, to every student and faculty by transforming the campus.”  Campus Crusade for Christ’s weekly meeting at Fresno State is every Wednesday Night at 7:07pm at the Residence Dinning Hall, East Side.  Cru is loaded with opportunities to bring a person closer to God.

PANHELLENIC COUNCIL:

The National Panhellenic Conference provides support and guidance for its 26 member inter/national sororities/women’s fraternities and serves as the national voice on contemporary issues of sorority life. Founded in 1902, NPC is one of the oldest and largest women’s membership organizations representing more than 3.9 million women at 655 college/university campuses and 4,500 local alumnae chapters in the U.S. and Canada. Each year, NPC-affiliated collegians and alumnae donate more than $5 million to worthy causes, provide $2.8 million in scholarships to women and volunteer 500,000 hours in their communities.  This We Believe:  Fraternity - Fraternity is a social experience based on the fundamental right of a free people to form voluntary associations. It is one of the enrichments of college life; Mutual Choice - The young woman who wants fraternity experience will find it possible to belong on most campuses today. Fraternity membership is a social experience arrived at by mutual choice and selection. Fraternity membership is by invitation. Fraternities Exist Because They: Provide a good democratic social experience. Give value beyond college years. Create, through their ideals, an ever-widening circle of service beyond the membership. Develop the individual’s potential through leadership opportunities and group effort. Fill the need of belonging. Fraternities Continue Because: Young women feel a continuing need to belong.
