75th Pink Rose
April 25th, 2026
Pink Rose is the Alpha Gamma Rho Fraternity, Alpha Lambda Chapter’s annual signature event held in Las Cruces, New Mexico, welcoming alumni back home to celebrate the bonds that unite generations of brothers.
Each year, brothers past and present gather to honor our shared history, recognize accomplishments, and reflect on the values of brotherhood, leadership, service, and scholarship that define Alpha Gamma Rho. Pink Rose serves as a meaningful opportunity to reconnect, strengthen lifelong relationships, and celebrate the continued growth and success of the chapter.
The evening features fellowship, recognition of outstanding members and alumni, and a renewed commitment to the traditions that have shaped Alpha Lambda. Pink Rose is more than a banquet—it is a celebration of where we’ve been, what we’ve achieved, and the strong future we continue to build together.
We look forward to welcoming alumni back to Las Cruces to celebrate brotherhood, legacy, and the enduring spirit of Alpha Gamma Rho.
