LIFETIME GIVING LEVEL: O rder of the Harvest

Brotherhood comes in all shapes and sizes. Brothers Mike and Jim Borel of Eta Chapter (Iowa State) are not just brothers through Alpha Gamma Rho, but are brothers by birth. Brother Mike, the older of the two, and Brother Jim were born four years apart, just missing the chance to attend Iowa State together, but Jim followed his brother Mike in joining Alpha Gamma Rho.

After graduating from Iowa State, both brothers held positions with the National Fraternity as Regional Vice Presidents. Brother Jim Borel went on to serve on the National Fraternity Board. When asked to help with the Fraternity at a national level, he saw it as a great way to reconnect with brothers and the Fraternity as a whole, while giving back.

Brother Mike said he and Jim had

both lived away from Iowa and even internationally after graduation and he was drawn to work for Alpha Gamma Rho at the national level because he became interested in connecting with brothers throughout the nation.

“I wear an AGR lapel pin,” Brother Mike said. “I’ve done that forever and it just amazes me how many AGRs I’ve met that I probably wouldn’t have realized had they not seen that pin.”

He said the more brothers he met from different places, the more value he found in the Fraternity. It just made sense to spend his time working at the national level, while still retaining a strong interest in Eta Chapter.

Brother Jim reflected on his own experience with meeting brothers

YOUR PURPOSEFUL MISSION

outside of his chapter.

“After I graduated and began a career in the agriculture industry, I started to run into AGRs — it really started to sink in how much impact AGR makes across the country in the ag industry.”

After seeing all the brothers who were making impacts in the agriculture industry, both brothers began investing their time and resources into Alpha Gamma Rho.

Brother Mike is excited to see how educational and leadership programming develops through the Top Leaders Institute and Brother Jim looks forward to seeing how AGR helps prepare future generations to lead the way and Make Better Men , and through them a better and broader agriculture.

The mission of The Educational Foundation of Alpha Gamma Rho is to drive Alpha Gamma Rho’s Purpose of Making Better Men . YOUR contributions support scholarships, leadership development training and experiences, opportunities to make life-long connections and more.

Walking With Purpose

BROTHER RANGER KIELAK SUPPORTS CHARITIES IN HIS WALK ACROSS THE U.S.

“MAYBE ONE DAY I COULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT when I’m rich and famous...” How many times have we told ourselves that? I will do it when I am older. I will do it when I have more money. I will do it when... What we should really be telling ourselves is “why wait?”

Brother Ranger Kielak of Phi Chapter (UC-Davis) thought the same thing when he saw in 2019, singer Mike Posner, share a social media post about walking across the United States. Brother Kielak found the act inspiring, but didn’t think it was something he could do at the time. He was about to graduate from the University of California-Davis. He had switched his major from animal

sciences to economics, and had struggled with some of the pressures of classes. So, he put the idea of a walk across the nation on the back burner and focused on finishing out his time at college.

A couple of years later, more social media posts of people walking across the United States crept into Brother Kielak’s feed. He noted that one was from Kansas and the another from Ohio — seemingly pretty regular people, or as he put it, “There’s nothing inherently special about them.” He

“They’re just normal dudes, and I’m a normal dude, so, what really is my excuse for not doing it?”

dude, so, what is my excuse for not doing it?” Brother Kielak asked himself.

In July of 2022, Brother Kielak messaged his girlfriend, now fiancé, and decided he was going to walk from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific.

After some planning and making sure he had his affairs in order with his job and family, Brother Kielak

While on the road, Brother Kielak met with a variety of people including other AGR brothers. Pictured is Brother Kielak with Brother Kyle Parker, Phi Chapter (California-Davis).

“Build a life worth remembering.”

flew to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, at the end of February 2024 and took his first steps March 10.

Brother Kielak walked through 10 different states, staying with friends and meeting new people while he was on his walk. He would interview interesting people that he met along the way for his podcast, “The Never Peak Project.” He even wound up with a pet cat that he dubbed Walker, which he found on the side of the road in Oklahoma.

Beyond the material parts of the walk, Brother Kielak said he was reminded of various things, such as the importance of a clear mission and setting smaller, attainable goals to help accomplish the mission.

For the walk, he had set a clear mission, which was not only to walk across the entire country, but to help support organizations that he holds dear. Through his walk, Brother Kielak raised approximately $8,500 for three organizations: FFA, Bigger Than The Trail and the Hospice Promise Foundation. Through the funds he raised, Brother Kielak supported FFA’s Supervised Agricultural Experience Grants, mental health educational support, and treatment options and assistance for families with essential, non-medical related expenses, such as rent and utilities, who had loved ones in hospice care.

Brother Kielak used social media to share donation links, encouraging those who were following his trip to donate in

support of his walk. He was also on other people’s podcasts while on the trip, and local news stations.

He said he picked these three organizations because of the different impacts they had on his life. Brother Kielak still wears his FFA ring and believes developing skills at a young age was very important to him. While he was in college, he struggled with his mental health and found that running and losing weight was a great boost. Then, when his grandfather was in hospice, the Hospice Promise Foundation supported his family by taking care of the bills and allowing them to focus on their loved one.

“It was just like that — beginning, middle and end,” Brother Kielak said. “Start you off strong, help you out in the middle and make sure that you can focus on your family.”

Since his trip, Brother Kielak has started his own consulting business, Within Range Coaching, where he offers coaching to entrepreneurs to help them grow their businesses. He also helps people with Pesticide Training for the state of California. Through his work and his walk across the United States, Brother Kielak has accomplished and helped others, “Build a life worth remembering.”

2025 OUTSTANDING VOLUNTEER Glenn A. Stith

WITH EXTRAORDINARY LEADERSHIP and enduring commitment to the Educational Foundation of Alpha Gamma Rho, Glenn A. Stith of Omicron Chapter, Kentucky, has dedicated decades of his life to ensuring their mission and impact is realized. He leads by example and consistently demonstrates a commitment to nurturing future leaders.

It is for his vision and mentorship that Glenn has been recognized as the Foundation for Fraternal Excellence 2025 Outstanding Volunteer. His award was presented on Tuesday, Aug. 26, during the Foundation for Fraternal Excellence Awards of Distinction Program.

“We deeply appreciate the countless hours Glenn devotes to our cause,” said Alpha Gamma Rho CEO Rex Martin. “Whether it’s locating contact information for brothers, soliciting donations, planning events or ensuring that the impact of our efforts is clearly communicated, Glenn’s dedication is unwavering. His efforts have been instrumental in proving that investments in the Educational Foundation of Alpha Gamma Rho are secure and impactful, instilling confidence in our donors and supporters.”

on the Educational Foundation Board, including eight years as its Chairman. He has served on the finance and audit committee, the investment committee, the ambassador committee, the development committee and the National Convention planning committee, and takes part in other committees as needed.

“His service has been characterized by vision, perseverance and a deep personal commitment to empowering the next generation of leaders.”

— CAROL JOHNSON, ED.D, CFRE., ALPHA GAMMA RHO EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION CHIEF DEVELOPMENT OFFICER

Initiated at the University of Kentucky in 1973, Glenn has volunteered both locally and nationally with AGR since 1977. He has served for 18 years

His volunteer tenure has been marked by significant achievements including the expansion of AGR’s ambassador program, substantial increases in annual fundraising, the completion of a capital campaign feasibility study and leadership of Alpha Gamma Rho’s most ambitious fundraising campaign to date, aimed at Local Chapter Excellence. This historic campaign, currently surpassing $21 million, promises to positively impact thousands of young brothers for generations. In support of the campaign, Glenn personally solicited gifts from almost 100 donors, totaling nearly $1.7 million. He also served as the co-chair of the Omicron Chapter housing cam-

paign which resulted in a new $5 million house at the University of Kentucky.

In support of his nomination, Pennington & Co. Vice President Aaron Parker wrote, “Glenn is the epitome of what we, as fundraising consultants, desire in a volunteer. He personally takes time to understand current challenges, provides others with knowledge and experience, offers creative ideas and feedback to move toward a resolution and acts quickly on requests and tasks aligned with the agreed upon solutions.”

“His service has been characterized by vision, perseverance and a deep personal commitment to empowering the next gene ration of leaders,” shared Alpha Gamma Rho Educational Foundation Chief Development Officer Carol Johnson, Ed.D.

The Foundation for Fraternal Excellence presented Glenn with the 2025 Outstanding Volunteer Award this past summer. His servant leadership and lifelong commitment to Alpha Gamma Rho continue to shine through his various national leadership roles.

that the only way to improve was to step up and take the initiative themselves.

Define Your Future

WHAT’S EXCITING ABOUT being a part of an organization like Alpha Gamma Rho Fraternity, is the freedom of choice. Collegiate brothers have the opportunity to choose what they do within a chapter so long as they follow the rules and meet minimum standards. Although the minimum might be what’s required, it’s the chapters that go above and beyond that Make Better Men, impact their communities and go on to become industry leaders.

Alpha Tau Chapter at Western Illinois University took great steps to turn a chapter with low engagement into a thriving group of young men making differences in not only their lives but the people around them.

When Brother Monte Lowderman, Alpha Tau, Western Illinois, and his wife, Carrie, first arrived at the chapter, the brothers

didn’t think of them as their Advisers, more like people trying to change things in ways they didn’t want. It wasn’t until the Lowdermans attended AGR's Leadership Seminars with the newest chapter executive board did the brothers realize that they were there to help.

“There was low engagement on all levels,” Brother Lowderman said. He noted how the COVID-19 pandemic had impacted the chapter, influencing the engagement levels in a negative way. In an attempt to help revive the chapter, Brother Lowderman and Carrie began setting certain expectations and goals for the brothers to work towards.

“We might have opened the doors … but they went through the doors,” Brother Lowderman said. He and Carrie emphasized that the collegiate brothers at Alpha Tau Chapter began to realize

to put together a plan to get their finances back on track.

Brother Cornell reflected on how when he came around to what Brother Lowderman and his wife were trying to do for the chapter, he began working closely with the couple to take steps to improve the Alpha Tau Chapter.

“Having a chapter that really cared about the house that we were living in, and the brothers that are in that house who make it so special … we would host more events at our house rather than going out,” Brother Cornell said. “We really cared about each other in a lot more of a personal way.”

Brother Cody Cornell, who recently graduated and is now the Chief of Staff for State Operations at the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, was the Noble Ruler during the first few years of the Loudermans’ time as Advisers. He said when he first became Noble Ruler, he discovered the chapter needed to take a good look at their finances.

“Having a chapter that really cared about the house that we’re living in … We really cared about each other in a lot more of a personal way.”

— CODY CORNELL, FORMER NOBLE RULER

The chapter had come close to not being able to uphold certain financial responsibilities, but with the help of the VNR-Finance at the time, Brother Tyler Barrington, they were able

Brother Jace Green, the current Noble Ruler of the chapter had the opportunity to watch Brother Cornell and Brother Barrington, who was Noble Ruler after Cody. He described Brother Cornell as a man of action and Brother Barrington as one to sit back and think through a situation before making a move. Brother Green does his best to balance the two. Because of the hard work of these brothers, Alpha Tau Chapter has boosted it’s engagement, creating a successful chapter and more. Brother Green described the changes to the chapter in one word: precedence.

“We set a strong precedence — this right here, here’s a line. This is where we need to be. We need to be at this line or above it. And whenever that line is set, you know that the bar just continues to raise,” Brother Green said.

The chapter is gearing up for another impactful Smoking Hog event and beyond that, they hope to improve alumni engagement and continue their campus leadership positions at Western Illinois University.

Fraternities Are

Relevant?

By Brother Matt Olson, Wisconsin-Madison

Across campuses and communities, the conversation around fraternity/sorority life is shifting. Critics question its place in modern higher education, citing stereotypes, outdated perceptions and the challenges of maintaining traditions in a rapidly changing culture.

Yet Alpha Gamma Rho continues to stand apart.

AGR is — and always has been — different. AGR is rooted in values, tied to a shared profession, united by service and committed to lifelong brotherhood. AGR provides a network that isn’t just social; it is professional, personal and purpose-driven.

To explore what makes AGR relevant today and in the years ahead, three brothers representing decades of experience have provided some of their insight.

In this roundtable, we posed the same set of questions to each brother, allowing their distinct voices, personal stories and lived experiences to answer for themselves: Yes, fraternities and sororities remain relevant — and here’s why AGR stands out.

Educational Foundation Board

Educational Foundation Board of Directors

 Bill Boehm Alpha Psi (Wisconsin-River Falls)

of Directors

 Todd Johnson Alpha Zeta (Kansas State) Regional Vice President

 Jay Poole Beta Eta (Virginia Tech)

“ This common bond in agriculture sets us apart from other Greek organizations and uniquely equips us to support each other, and our industry, for a lifetime.”

 TODD JOHNSON, ALPHA ZETA (KANSAS STATE) REGIONAL VICE PRESIDENT

Why did you join Alpha Gamma Rho? Why have you stayed connected?

BOEHM  I was attracted by the men already in the colony [at the University of Wisonsin-River Falls] — we weren’t yet a chapter. The men who recruited me were serious about life success. I was inspired by the AGR Purpose and Mission. When our colony was installed, and I was initiated, I was “hooked.”

JOHNSON  My AGR introduction came from a high school friend who is a few years older than me, and an AGR brother. The strong connection to agriculture made it an easy decision to join. It wasn’t until after becoming a member and having my name appear in our Chapter Crescent that I received notes of congratulations from brothers in my home farming community. The AGR world became very small at this moment. However, none of these brothers recruited me or talked about AGR during my high school days. This is a good reminder to all of us that recruitment is an ongoing process. We should keep the Fraternity top of mind in our conversations with high school students.

POOLE  When I was invited to join the AGR chapter at Virginia Tech in 1975, I had no idea what a fraternity was or did, but I liked the idea of being with fellow agriculture majors — most of whom were farm kids like me. Even then, the list of accomplished and prominent AGRs provided me with a glimpse of what was possible if I became an AGR brother. I’ve been privileged to meet AGRs from many chapters

throughout my professional career, and phrases like “the bond of brotherhood” take on real meaning when a professional acquaintance instantly becomes a genuine connection the moment you discover they are also an AGR. In addition, at a very difficult time in my life, undergraduate brothers at Beta Eta made a point of checking on us to see how we were doing and if there was anything they could do to help. Those guys didn’t know me — they just knew we were in a bit of a tough place and wanted me to know and feel that they were there for me.

What does AGR mean to you personally today?

POOLE  Rinse and repeat. I have the same answer as the above question. Shared experiences. Friendships. Meeting brothers from other chapters. A continually enriching experience. Beta Eta recently celebrated its 50th anniversary … to see so many brothers from over the years, some of whom hadn’t been back to Virgina Tech or the AGR chapter in decades highlighted the great value that membership in our great Fraternity provides. True friends and brothers for life.

BOEHM  AGR is an important organization in my daily life. It’s part of who I am. Many of my best friends are, or have been, involved in National AGR leadership roles. I’m also engaged with my chapter as an alumnus. I’m encouraged to see other AGRs, young and older, and to live the Purpose. The link to food and agriculture has been the cornerstone of my involvement for the past 60 years. I believe in both the

AGR Purpose and Mission, and that I have a responsibility to advance them both.

JOHNSON  As a new member, we talked about AGR being, “four years and a lifetime,” referring to our undergraduate and alumni experiences. The “lifetime” commitment holds true today as AGR means more to me now than what I envisioned as an 18-year-old. My personal and professional life have been enriched by my AGR affiliation. The skills I learned through my undergraduate experiences translate into business decision-making skills. The brothers who stood beside me during life’s celebrations are the same brothers standing beside me during career changes and family losses. They are the same people, supporting me in different ways that only a lifetime can define.

How would you respond to people who say fraternity/sorority life is no longer relevant?

JOHNSON  I would ask them, “What aspects of self-definition, teamwork, fiscal management, accountability, respect, meaningful friendships and expectations for giving back to our community are not important today?” In my opinion, these attributes are more critical today than ever before, and universities nationwide are focused on providing students with an environment that fosters meaningful friendships and positive social networks. These attributes are inherent in fraternity life and grow in relevance as societal pressures on

young people increase. We all have a critical role to play in helping each other be successful in life and business. Fraternity life, and specifically AGR, are equipped to provide this network.

POOLE  If someone wants a “leg up” professionally, join a fraternity or sorority. When I was hiring people during my career, if all other things were equal, I would always choose the person who experienced fraternity/sorority life. In college, you learn to get along with others, run a small business, learn time management and, more simply, by being an engaged brother or sister. AGR’s Top Leaders Institute is a tangible example of leadership and management training that is directly transferrable post-graduation, and it is only available to AGR brothers. I believe the training is more than good enough to be highlighted on an undergraduate’s resume as they identify skills for that first job out of college or that first internship.

BOEHM  I would say they are mistaken. Indeed, I would argue that the opposite is true. Young men are being “left behind” and the data supports this. Men don’t tend to “make friends” as easily as women. Too many struggle with insecurities and feelings of being alone. Being a member of a fraternity can and does make the difficult transition to adulthood easier for men, and it enhances their opportunity to succeed personally. I think that’s the case more for young men than it is for women, especially today.

“ Young men are being ‘ left behind.’ Too many struggle with insecurities and feelings of being alone. Being a member of a fraternity can and does make the difficult transition to adulthood easier for men, and it enhances their opportunity to succeed personally. I think that’s the case more for young men than it is for women, especially today.”

 BILL BOEHM, ALPHA PSI (WISCONSIN-RIVER FALLS) EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION BOARD OF DIRECTORS

In your opinion, what makes AGR different from other fraternities or student organizations?

BOEHM  Easy question to answer. It’s our link to a professional career and commitment to an industry. With a little personal effort, AGR does “last a lifetime.” For me, personally, only the FFA organization comes close. Even there, the friendships and professional links are much less despite the fact that I was a chapter, state and national FFA student leader.

JOHNSON  I am a strong advocate for the larger Greek Community and encourage students to find the Greek organization best for them. Practically, AGR’s structure as a social and professional fraternity equips us for lifelong engagement. An alumnus of 10, 20 or 50 years will quickly find common business interests among undergraduate AGR members. This common bond in agriculture sets us apart from other Greek organizations and uniquely equips us to support each other, and our industry, for a lifetime.

POOLE  All of us either studied agriculture, have ag backgrounds, or come from farms or small towns — but even if we don’t, we all identify with agriculture, and that matters. At Virginia Tech, living in the AGR house was required when I was in school in the 70s, and it still is today. The leadership, management and conflict resolution skills you gain — along with learning to work well with others — are life skills you won’t find anywhere else, especially for those pursuing careers in agriculture and life sciences. AGR also teaches you to be

part of something bigger than yourself: serving the common good while improving your own life. We do this better than any other organization because we live it long after college.

Can you share a specific story when AGR’s values — like service, leadership or brotherhood — made a real impact in your life or someone else’s?

POOLE  I heard this story from the mother of a Beta Eta Brother who joined AGR 20 to 25 years after me. At first, she wasn’t thrilled about him joining a fraternity. By chance, we met at a professional event, and when she learned I was an AGR, I shared the many benefits of membership, which helped change her mind. A couple of years later, her son was in a serious accident and hospitalized. She stayed by his side all night, then went home briefly to tend to the farm. To her surprise, several AGR brothers from Blacksburg — three hours away — were already there feeding the chickens and caring for the animals. They told her, “We’ll handle this. You get back to the hospital.” That selfless act of brotherhood showed her exactly what it means to be an AGR.

BOEHM  I don’t really have a “specific story” to share. My involvement with AGR has been a “flow” rather than a fragmented set of individual stories. I thrive on the passion I see from AGRs for life, their work and the organization. I’m always amazed at the stories others tell about how AGR changed their lives.

JOHNSON  Starting college with a group of new friends was an amazing

“ Business leaders will tell you that the one thing often missing from the skill set of new college graduates are those “soft skills” that enable teamwork, conflict resolution and common-sense decision-making.”

 JAY POOLE, BETA ETA (VIRGINIA TECH) EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION

experience. That experience became fraternal when we discovered one of our classmates was dealing with a challenging health issue. It then became our collective responsibility to watch out for him and provide support where needed. Life gets very personal when you’re helping a brother through life and death situations.

What does lifelong brotherhood look like to you? Have you experienced it?

JOHNSON  Four years and a lifetime is a big commitment. This commitment means accepting the invitation to stand up for brothers at their wedding — sometimes more than once — and it obligates you to show up for them during their losses. We do this without hesitation.

POOLE  Beta Eta Chapter celebrated its 50th anniversary in May, bringing together brothers from every era — including some of the very first members initiated in 1975. There’s an iconic photo of those young men, myself included, standing on the AGR house steps — unaware we represented the future of agriculture in Virginia. Many of us hadn’t seen each other in years, but countless connections had been maintained through agriculture and professional associations. The weekend was a powerful reminder of “lifelong brotherhood,” — something I also experience through my service on the National AGR Educational Foundation Board. It’s been a great way to re-engage and contribute to all that’s right about AGR and our future.

BOEHM  When I was initiated, I took an oath as we all did. When I did,

I knew this was about making a life commitment and was determined to fulfill that promise. As I mentioned above, I have been personally involved in AGR for my entire adult life. I’ve been fortunate to have the support of my family, especially my wife of 50+ years, along the way, giving me the freedom to follow my self-imposed sense of responsibility to help the organization achieve AGR’s Purpose and Mission.

How do you see AGR preparing men for leadership in agriculture, business and life?

BOEHM  In many ways, if an undergraduate simply “pays attention,” the things that happen in the college fraternity experience are “try-outs” for life. Start with the recruitment process. If you succeed, you get an invitation to join. If you accept, you then must learn how to live and grow with a group of others — some who are like you and others not so much. That’s exactly what happens in the job market! Gaining a leadership role in the chapter is a personal success, but it’s also an awesome responsibility, just like advancement in a company. “Selling an idea” in the chapter is a skill that is required in most life assignments. Joining with friends to help those less fortunate or even to advance a shared cause happens throughout life. Making tough decisions when chapter expenses exceed revenue. Collecting past due bills and issuing fines. Voting to expel a member who consistently disappoints. All and more are rehearsals for life after graduation.

JOHNSON  I often consider college a grand social

“ To stay relevant as a social and professional fraternity, we must continue to connect our membership with the challenges and opportunities facing society and help them understand how agriculture can address these challenges while capitalizing on the opportunities.”

 TODD JOHNSON, ALPHA ZETA (KANSAS STATE) REGIONAL VICE PRESIDENT

“AGR accentuates that social experiment by assigning selfgovernance to the equation. Who can manage themselves, their peers, a budget and eventually, employees? If you can navigate these challenges, you are well equipped for what the next stage of life will put before you.”

 TODD JOHNSON, ALPHA ZETA (KANSAS STATE) REGIONAL VICE PRESIDENT

experiment, allowing us to see who will prosper and who will struggle within the guardrails of college. AGR accentuates that social experiment by assigning self-governance to the equation. Who can manage themselves, their peers, a budget and eventually, employees? If you can navigate these challenges, you are well equipped for what the next stage of life will put before you.

POOLE  The early success of Top Leaders Institute (TLI) and Local Chapter Excellence national initiatives demonstrates the great value this type of training can provide to individual chapter members. The fact that TLI is largely funded by generous alumni shows how strongly AGR men believe in the Fraternity’s bright future and are willing to invest in it. Nobody else, and certainly nobody else within the agriculture community, can provide this kind of leadership.

What would you say to a young man considering joining AGR?

POOLE  Say, “Yes!” before they change their mind and rescind the invitation to join.

BOEHM  Do it! But make the commitment to help the organization fulfill its Purpose. Don’t just “join.” Understand on day one that this is a life decision, not just a “college home” or a social club. AGR isn’t a pasttense experience.

JOHNSON  I would first ask what he is looking for in a college experience. I hope he is looking for a quality education that will position him for a successful career. I would

then ask if he has thought about ways to enhance that experience such as joining clubs, service organizations and fraternity/sorority life. I would then introduce him to AGR as a lifetime commitment that will bring with it unmeasured benefits.

What would you say to a parent unsure about fraternity/sorority life?

JOHNSON  I would ask for their perspective of fraternity life. What is their impression, what questions do they have, and would they like to know more about the fraternity/sorority community? If they are open to the conversation, I would encourage fraternity and sorority life for the many benefits it provides to personal growth and development, and I would remind them there are obligations for their student to give back to the organization and sometimes the community. Being a a fraternity member is not just about what we receive, but what we give.

POOLE  I have been blessed to have had an enormously successful career, and membership in AGR played a huge part in that. Learning to live with 50 other men is a life skill that can’t be taught in a classroom. Business leaders will tell you that the one thing often missing from the skill set of new college graduates are those “soft skills” that enable teamwork, conflict resolution and common-sense decisionmaking. These figures are real: nearly half of today’s business and industries leaders have faternity/ sorority life experience. According to the FSPAC website, approximately 28% of the U.S. Senate and

Research and the Fraternal Experience

PEER REVIEWED, QUANTITATIVE DATA SUPPORTS THE POSITIVE IMPACT OF THE FRATERNITY EXPERIENCE

by Dawn Wiese, Ph.D.

Fraternity men are more likely to be ENGAGED INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE CLASSROOM

Fraternity men are more likely to be ENGAGED IN THEIR COMMUNITIES after graduation

Fraternity men are less likely to EXPERIENCE DEPRESSION OR ANXIETY

Fraternitymen are more likelyto GRADUATE

Fraternity men are more likely to GIVE BACK TO ALMATHEIRMATER

AS COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES

across the U.S. prepare for a demographic decline in college-age students, fraternities are poised to be the secret weapon to both retain and graduate students. Surprised? Read on ….

I spent many years working on college campuses with my final role as a vice president of student affairs at a campus with a majority of students participating in Greek Life. While considered a “Greek friendly” vice president, the conversations one often hears on campuses, “The school is trying to get rid of Greek Life,” continued to swirl on my campus. When advocating for the Greek experience, the one talking point I would hear again and again from Greek alumni and students was, “Greeks give back more to their college than all other graduates.” While true, I often replied, “To help you advocate for the experience, I need more data. Those who may call for the extinction of Greek Life simply don’t care that these graduates give more.”

Following a multi-year, interfraternal effort led by the North American Interfraternity Conference (NIC) to provide fine-tuned research questions and partnerships with well-known higher education researchers, fraternities are now armed with a war chest of valuable data that supports the fraternal experience.

Need an elevator pitch of outcomes? Try these on for size:

Peer-reviewed, published data tells us, that when compared with non-affiliated men, fraternity men are:

f M ore likely to be retained as students from year one to year two

f M ore likely to graduate

f M ore likely to be engaged inside and outside the classroom

f M ore likely to have had an internship

f M ore likely to have had an advisor who has served as a key mentor

f M ore likely to be engaged in their communities when they graduate

f M ore likely to give back in both time and treasure to their alma maters

f L ess likely to experience depression or anxiety

f L ess likely to demonstrate hypermasculine beliefs

And, more fraternity men are more likely to intervene in bystander intervention in the following areas:

f A f riend/peer was behaving in an unsafe manner

All of us involved in the fraternal experience KNOW fraternity does so much for young men, and for the men who support the experience after graduation. Peer-reviewed quantitative data backs this up!

At a time when much of higher education is under attack for high tuition, restrictions on speech, activism resulting in the firing of major university presidents, and declining enrollment, fraternity is shining.

Dr. Dawn Wiese is a researcher, strategist, and writer. Wiese currently serves as Chief Operating Officer, FRMT, Ltd., Alpha Gamma Rho’s insurer, and advises the NIC on its research agenda. She authored the piece “Fraternities are a Cure for What Ails Higher Education,” (Wall Street Journal, May 9, 2024) which went viral after fraternity men worked to protect the U.S. flag at UNC-Chapel Hill during campus protests.
