We were founded here at Mizzou in 1923, Alpha Gamma Sigma began a long history of building young men as a professional and social fraternity. Shortly after establishing the MU chapter, we joined with another fraternity at The Ohio State University to form a national organization. The national organization has grown slowly over the years, ensuring we hold true to our 13 principles. The members and alumni of Alpha Gamma Sigma take pride in high standards and developing meaningful brotherhood that last a lifetime.
Leadership & Scholarship
Our member programming is focused on leadership and scholarship. In addition to leadership opportunities in the fraternity, many of our members join and hold leadership positions in two or more campus organizations. Scholarship support is provided through organized study halls and group study sessions, resulting in 30% of our members making the dean's list. Professional development includes resume reviews, mock interviews with alumni, and building professional life skills.
Brotherhood
Brotherhood that last a lifetime is the backbone of the AGS experience. Whether it is playing cards on a Saturday night, going out to eat as a group, dinner together at the house, or watching a football game our brothers value this time, and we are there to support each other in and out of the classroom.
Athletics
We excel on the field, participating in intramural basketball, soccer, volleyball, and football. In fact, we were Greek league champions the last 3 out of 4 years.
Campus Involvement
Greek life and AGS provides numerous opportunities for campus involvement through various activities including Homecoming, Greek Week, and participating in philanthropies.
Social
We enjoy various social activities through the year, including tailgates in the fall, winter formal, spring semi-formal, events with other sororities and fraternities, and parents' weekends.
Living together offers a unique, home away from home experience and an opportunity to interact with members from all class levels which you do not get when living off-campus or in the dorms. This is the reason our alumni recently invested in building new facilities completed in Fall 2016. In addition to the main house, our AGS campus features a parking garage and apartments for seniors. Along with all the other benefits, there is a chef to prepare meals and a house mom to provide a lending hand and support when needed. Living in-house is a great value when compared to the cost of dorms and other options.
We pride ourselves on a strong brotherhood through our diversity of members from all different degree programs and backgrounds. Members of Alpha Gamma Sigma come from small towns and cities of all sizes, pursuing degrees in a wide spectrum of interests including agriculture, business, engineering, health sciences, and many others.
