Making Better Men

Alpha Gamma Rho at the University of Tennessee is the only Agricultural and Professional Fraternity on campus. We share a great relationship with the College of Agriculture and Applied Sciences by holding our members to a high standard in the classroom as well as in our community. Here at at the Alpha Upsilon Chapter, we have a supportive alumni consisting of 1200+ brothers which help the chapter by providing career opportunities, leadership opportunities and support as our members strive to complete their education.

Our Purpose

The Purpose of Alpha Gamma Rho is to Make Better Men, and through them a broader and better agriculture by surrounding our members with influences tending to encourage individual endeavor, resourcefulness and aggressive effort along lines making for the development of better mental, social, moral and physical qualities; to promote a wider acquaintance and a broader outlook on the part of agricultural men through fellowship in a national organization that stands for the best social, mental and moral development.
