Joining AGR was one of the best decisions I’ve made. The fraternity has provided me with lifelong friendships and a network of professionals who are always willing to help. It’s truly a brotherhood that extends beyond college.
Jerry Tuttle
★★★★★
As an AGR, I learned about leadership, scholarship, mentorship, and finances. Among the active Brothers in those years, I count several as some of my closest friends. Even though we do not often see each other, when we do get together, it’s like we just pick up where we last left off. The AGR Brothers from those active years are my Brothers for a lifetime.
