T
he Delta Chapter of Alpha Gamma Rho and Purdue
University share a storied tradition dating back to
1911. From our founding to the present, our proud
history speaks for itself through high academic achievement
and leadership within the university. With over 2,100 initiates,
the Delta Chapter has influenced the lives of numerous men,
cultivating lasting friendships in the process. Many of our best
college memories can be traced back to our AGR experience.
While many of our alumni have gone on to successful and
distinguished careers in agriculture, business, engineering,
technology, and countless other endeavors, the common bond of
our brotherhood remains, along with our shared principles and
values. Most of us can trace the roots of our success to one place:
607 N. University.

rough Alpha Gamma Rho, we not only learned the importance
of friendship, knowledge, service, morality, and excellence, but
we acquired valuable assets, which include leadership skills,
organizational skills, social skills, teamwork, and character.
Oentimes, these traits have been integral to our personal success
and helped make us the men we are today.
Our chapter house at 607 N. University is clearly the focus of
undergraduate life for Delta. It has been a home away from home
for hundreds of young men and a classroom where our brothers
have learned "To Make Better Men." However, if we wish for our
Delta Chapter to continue its strong presence on the Purdue
campus, we must ensure that we are providing a safe, modern,
and competitive facility. Now is the appropriate time to secure
our future.
