Alpha Gamma Rho OFFICERS President -- - Vice President - Secretary - Treasurer - - - Faculty Advisor DoNALD L. sroNE Q 1. LEoNARD coNE - 1oHN M. BAILEY - ANGUS FRANKLIN MR. air siMMs ALPHA GAMMA RHO Was founded in l908, when two local fraternities from Chio State University and the University of Illinois combined to form the national agricultural fraternity. Today it is the foremost social fraternity of the profession, although in late years many of the chapters have accepted a small percentage of non-agricultural students. At present the fraternity consists of Sl chapters located in 31 states. The Alpha Gamma chapter of Alpha Gamma Rho at the University of Florida was installed in l925 with a charter membership of twenty-six. Alpha Gamma Rho has many prominent alumni throughout the State and a large number of the professors of agriculture at the University are former members. Alpha Gamma Rho again became active at the beginning of the fall semester of l945-46, with only four active members on the campus. Many of the old members have been discharged from the armed services, and by next year the fraternity Will, in all probability be larger than before the War. Those engaged in campus activities are Donald L. Stone, member of the Student Senate, Leonard Cone, lnter-Fraternity Conference Representa- tive, Robert Perry, President of the Block and Bridle Club, and Vernon Pugh, Secretary of the Agricultural Club.
