Quick Facts
AGR
Oct. 10, 1904 at Ohio State University
The Alpha Beta Chapter of Alpha Gamma Rho at Oregon State University became a reality in December 1924. Originally housed at the corner
of 25th and Monroe Streets, AGR moved to their current house in 1952. AGR at Oregon State strives to uphold the ideals of four pillars of Alpha Gamma Rho.
The four pillars of Alpha Gamma Rho are: recruitment, commitment, education and recognition. These four pillars, built upon a firm foundation, support and maintain the integrity of our brotherhood. One of AGR’s earliest Grand President’s, S.K. Bjoronson (North Dakota) said, “I want her men to be leaders of the future, not because they are my Fraternity Brothers, but because I believe them to be the strongest of character and the most honorable and resolute of the times. I want each of them, by their deeds and actions, to justify the existence of Alpha Gamma Rho.”
