Alpha Gamma Rho - Penn State University

4 Gamma Crescent AGR Financial Plans A large influx of new members means more dues money for the house. In-house dues are $4,805 per semester, which includes rent, food, and dues. This is slightly more affordable in comparison to the on-campus living option, which costs around $4,885. Out-of- house dues are $1,100 per semester. There are currently 45 in-house brothers and 41 brothers living out, including the 11 new members. Thanks to our consistent income from dues, the brotherhood is considering new luxuries, and we are looking into purchasing new furniture for the Great Hall. If you'd like to help purchase new furniture for the house, donations are always appreciated.

As a chapter, we achieved a cumulative GPA of over a 3.0. The brothers listed below have earned a personal GPA of a 3.0 or higher. Brothers with an asterisk have achieved the honor of being on the dean's list this semester. Congratulations, brothers! Undergraduates are honored for their great GPAs. New Members Contribute to Gamma Success T his semester, Gamma Chapter has welcomed 11 new members who demonstrate aggressive effort in both the brotherhood and in the classroom. Every new member has been creating close bonds with active brothers, as well as gaining a thorough understanding of ΑΓΡ history and development through the online AGRConnect modules. Each new member has developed a deep interest in Alpha Gamma Rho and understands the focus on bettering the house to make better men. Throughout the semester, our new members have played a huge role in planning, organizing, and running multiple philanthropies and events for the brotherhood. From an academic standpoint, there has been an immense focus on the importance of scholarship. Their hard work is demonstrated by a new member class cumulative GPA of 3.34. In addition to excelling in the classroom, many of the new members have shown interest in pursuing a career in the field of agriculture. We are proud to welcome them into the Gamma brotherhood.
