Scholarships
We offer incoming freshman a scholarship each spring. Letters get sent to all male agiculture majors that have decided to attend the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. The letters are sent out in May and June, and they are due the third Saturday in July. The AGR members will narrow them down to the top candidates, and they will receive a letter in the mail in August. The final candidates will have a formal interview that first week of classes and the winner will be announced shortly after. For application information, see Beta Gamma AGR Scholarship Tab.
Organization Facts
A group of seven college students at The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio decided to bind together their cords of friendship and organize a fraternity. Surveying and plans developed slowly and on the first Sunday in October, 1904, Alpha Gamma Rho was born. While the agricultural group at The Ohio State University were developing a fraternity similar action was taking shape at the University of Illinois. During the fall of 1905 the students at Illinois discussed the formation of an agricultural club. By the spring of 1906 the idea had sprouted and Delta Rho Sigma came into being. The interactions between the two fraternities started at the International Livestock Show in Chicago during the fall of 1906 when the embryonic livestock judges met and discovered they had a common bond. Correspondence ensued during the winter, but true love was not smooth and the groups drifted apart. However, negotiations were reopened in April when the Illinois fraternity invited two delegates from Ohio to visit. In time things became serious, and on April 4, 1908, they were united in a public ceremony at the Claypool Hotel in Indianapolis. The AGR fraternity now has over 75 Chapters and Colonies in the United States and Canada. See National AGR History tab for more information.
