Wearing Your Letters

AS A LAST RITE in Alpha Gamma Rho’s initiation ceremony, each new member receives the badge of the Fraternity by the Noble Ruler of the chapter. Taken from the pages of the Golden Crescent “Membership in AGR is bestowed only on those who wholeheartedly embrace the principles and ideals of the Fraternity, and agree to live up to the Fraternity’s basic expec tations.” The badge is made of up of the working tools and emblems of the Fraternity: the sheaf, the sickle, and the crescent. Each represent a value for all brothers to abide by and use as a resource in their personal and professional lives, and is to be worn over your heart to signify your love and devotion for the Fraternity. Through thoughts, words, and actions, every brother represents Alpha Gamma Rho’s ideals and carries the symbolic weight of the letters they have earned the right to wear. Whether it is on campus or in the classroom; in the fields or in the boardroom, AGR brothers should seek to maintain a positive image in all they do in order to abide by the expectations and Purpose of Making Better Men. “Those who wear the badge wear it proudly, for they know Alpha Gamma Rho stands for lofty ideals.”
