If you have an agricultural interest, regardless
of your major, AGR is the place for you.
Alpha Gamma Rho is a close-knit family of
34 brothers, all of whom live in the house.
With family-style sit-down dinners five
days a week, brothers enjoy the traditions
of a real family. This fraternity has been at
Virginia Tech for over 30 years. In those
30 years, it has initiated over 580 brothers.
Alpha Gamma Rho, Virginia Tech’s social
and professional agricultural fraternity,
is very active on and around campus. The
members participate in many philanthropy events and help out around the community.
They are active with many campus clubs, such as Block and Bridle, dairy Club, Agronomy
Club, Poultry Club, Horticulture Club, Young Farmers, Ag Econ/NAMA Club, and Alpha
Zeta Honors Fraternity. While not on campus, many brothers enjoy farming, hunting, fishing,
firefighting, sports, and other outdoor activities.
