Bill: Our county agent was an ΑΓΡ. What is your most significant memory of living in the house? Jake: All the good times spent with the tight- knit group of young gentlemen. Walt: Learning how to live with nearly 40 men, how to manage and maintain the chapter house and its future, and building lifelong friendships. Bill: Sitting by the fire in the end of Great Hall with our lady friends. How did ΑΓΡ make you a better man? Jake: It taught me important lessons in all aspects of my life, from respect to management. It has also provided me with an extensive web of networks. Walt: It taught me leadership and management skills especially since I held the offices of VNR of operations, kitchen steward, and VNR of development. Bill: I met many fine people and made contacts that lasted a lifetime. What would you say to a new recruit who is considering joining ΑΓΡ? Jake: ΑΓΡ is not just a fraternity for college. It's a fraternity for life. Walt: It will give you something to belong to forever. You will make friends that you will have for the rest of your life. You will network with some great leaders and business people through the contacts made at ΑΓΡ. Bill: Check it out. It will become an important part of your life. You can contact Bill at smoore2208@aol. com, Walt at wtmoo@aol.com, and Jake at jdm5667@psu.edu. the Moore Family (Continued from page 1) Alumni updAte ChApter eternAl George Hart '33 entered Chapter Eternal March 24, 2013.
