Alpha Gamma Sigma at the University of Missouri has a long history of building young men at MU, founded in 1923, and continues that mission today and tomorrow. The students and alumni of Alpha Gamma Sigma take pride in high standards and developing meaningful brotherhood, that last a lifetime. Take time to explore our website and learn a little more about AGS.
Come Together as Scholars, Live as Brothers, Become Leaders of Tomorrow.
Originally a professional agriculture fraternity, today Alpha Gamma Sigma at the University of Missouri has grown and diversified. AGS is still a strong professional fraternity on the MU campus with agriculture heritage, and we have diversified by expanding our horizons beyond agriculture, and many of our members are looking at futures in Agriculture, Business, Engineering, and Health Sciences.
When joining Alpha Gamma Sigma you're not just finding a place to live, you're joining a brotherhood. The friendships you make in AGS go beyond your college years. Brotherhood is the foundation of AGS, built on the bonds of principles, ideals and experiences.
Here at Alpha Gamma Sigma-Beta Chapter, we take pride in our scholastic reputation. With scheduled nightly study halls and incentives for members achieving a 3.0 or higher. We have consistently ranked in the top 10 of 35 fraternities on campus. Our Scholarship Foundation awards multiple scholarships to members each year, ask our rush chairs for more information.
We keep ourselves busy with intramural sports including football, basketball, and soccer as we aim to keep our bodies as in shape as our minds.
Philanthropy is one of the founding principles of AGS. Each year we participate in multiple campus philanthropies hosted by the University and Sororities. Each spring, we co-host the Red White and Blue Barbecue to raise money for Honor Flight, a group who takes war veterans to Washington D.C.
This fall construction will be completed on the new chapter house for members of Alpha Gamma Sigma, including an onsite parking garage. We are excited to expand and gain new members that will be dedicated to helping us reach our future goals. Upper classmen have the opportunity to live in the newly constructed “Apartments @ 500 Rollins” and experience off campus apartment style living just steps away from the AGS house.
Though we work hard in class and leadership on campus, we make time for brotherhood and social activities. Whether it’s a St. Louis Cardinals game with the guys, a social event with a sorority homecoming partner, or mud tug-a-war, we build friendships that last a life time, which provides balance to keep us focused on school.
Our mission is to guide young men on their journey to develop and exhibit character. SANSKRIT, our fraternity education program, provides the framework for all activities. It provides opportunities to grow personally and academically. Each brother is challenged to achieve his potential while working with others to benefit the fraternity and college community.

Coming to college I knew I wanted to have fun, but my main focus was school. I picked AGS for their Agriculture ideals and ties with CAFNR. Soon after, I realized my decision was smart after receiving help and support from upperclassman that have taken the classes I was in.
Coming from far out of state, I was nervous about fitting in at Mizzou, but after hanging out at AGS a few times I knew it was where I belonged. The brotherhood outmatched any other fraternity I had met with.
I didn't attend Mizzou for my first year of college. After I transferred and met some guys from AGS I knew my plan for sophomore year. My expectations were not let down, as I have friends and connections that will last a life time.
Alpha Gamma Sigma is built on 13 principles and that is what we use to measure ourselves and potential members. Today our membership includes guys from all different majors and backgrounds. AGS was originally founded as a professional agriculture fraternity, so many of the members of Alpha Gamma Sigma come from small towns and/or pursuing degrees in Agriculture, but we have members pursuing degrees in wide spectrum of different majors and from all sizes of cities that fit well and are active in the fraternity.

Our Latest News of what's happening.
Construction of the new AGS house at 407 Burnam is going well, and on schedule to be completed by Fall 2016.

You can follow the construction project on Facebook, click here to connect.
The above noted campaign is in full swing. This campaign is a great way to leave a bit of your individual legacy at the gathering spot where so many of us entered the college world, made memories and lasting friendships, and left Columbia better men than when we arrived!
Now is the time to leave your mark on the interior Wall of Fame of new 407 Burnam Road chapter house that is under construction. Purchase a commemorative brick tile for $250 by going to the website and following the links instructing you on how to self-design your brick (3 lines) and what steps to take to secure paying for your purchase.
We have had many inquiries from non-Sigma family members wanting to honor their Sigmas, loved ones who were/are husbands, fathers, grandfathers or brothers. Some have also inquired about plaques for former housemothers. These are all good options. One family has already purchased 4 bricks, honoring all of their Sigmas. What a great way to put a stamp on their involvement at the fraternity house!
Our goal is 300 bricks and the program will close in May. Proceeds go towards purchasing interior furnishings for the new house. Help us set the new house up right for the fall grand opening, while at the same time leaving a commemorative piece of your time at AGS.
