About Us

What is Alpha Gamma Rho?

Alpha Gamma Rho is a national fraternity with 71 different chapters around the country.  We are the Premier Ag Fraternity at The Ohio State University.

The fraternity has deep roots in agriculture and was established in 1904 here at The Ohio State University.  Alpha Gamma Rho became a national fraternity in 1908 when Delta Rho Sigma and Alpha Gamma Rho merged into the national fraternity that it is today.

Do I have to have an ag-based major to join?

The answer is no.  Currently there are engineering, business, finance, political science, journalism, pre-law and agricultural majors.
