AGR - A Good Thing Growing A fall dance, snowball formal, spring dance and the International Reunion Day are annual events. The Interna- tional Reunion Day is a joyful reunion among alumni, undergraduates and pledges. At Murray State, the colors green and gold symbolize the Alpha Gamma Rho Fraternity. The Alpha Omega chapter strives to establish brotherhood among its mem- bers, to strengthen the agricultural community and college and to serve the surrounding community. The brothers sponsor a Paul Bunyan Day in which fraternities and sororities compete together in rugged events each spring. The AGR Truck Pull is the highlight during the year for the brothers. Par- ticipants are entered from Kentucky and its neighboring states. High school students studying agri- culture compete in various events dur- ing Murray State University's Agricul- tural FFA Field Day sponsored by Al- pha Gamma Rho. The AGR brothers sponsor a Pink Rose Dance and Homecoming Dance each year. They are currently in the process of planning a new annex on the AGR house. This annex will sleep 40 mem- bers. lt will also have a new kitchen. Won't Mom be proud of that? The Rhomates, the AGR little sis- ters, support each project that Alpha Gamma Rho sponsors.

In a sense, the AOPi sisters are strong as one and yet gentle and understanding with their fel- low sisters. The AOPis participate in the many Greek and campus sponsored events. They exhibited their musical talent dur- ing All Campus Sing and displayed their athletic ability in the intramural program. Their motto, Service to others and our college community, is exemplified by the various charities that the sorority patronizes. The AOPis center their philanthro- phic activities around the Arthritic Foundation. The sorority holds road- blocks, sponsors car washes and sells specially made pens to raise money for the foundation. Alpha Omicron Pi has a Turkey Dance before Thanksgiving each fall. The highlight of the sorority is the AOPi spring formal, the Red Rose Ball. ,-all diy A-3 . G.
