Over the past several days, Brothers Mason Thomas and Tyler Bradley had the opportunity to represent Tau Chapter at Alpha Gamma Rho’s 69th Biennial National Convention in Louisville, Kentucky. While there, they were able to visit Churchill Downs and connect with other brothers from across the country. Additionally, we would like to congratulate Brother Owen Newland, who was one of the few brothers nationwide selected to receive the Bill Schilling Scholarship, awarded to active brothers who demonstrate outstanding undergraduate achievement.

Join the Alpha Gamma Rho Tau Chapter on July 18, 2026 for our annual cookout at the house! The cookout will begin at 4 PM. If you are interested in joining our chapter, come join the brothers and alumni for a nice meal and yard games. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

This year, we proudly celebrate 9 graduates from the Alpha Gamma Rho Tau Chapter. These men have contributed so much to our chapter through their leadership and hard work. We wish each of them nothing but success in their future careers. These guys are a special group and will be missed around the house.

Last weekend we hosted our 6th Annual Golf Outing at Hawk Hollow Golf Course. It was an incredible day on the course filled with some great people. Huge thank you to everyone who came out and made it possible. Also we would like to thank our amazing hole sponsors for the event. Your support helps our chapter grow and continue making impact on our members.
(First photo) Congrats to these guys for winning the event. 🏆

With gratitude, AgrAbility accepted a check from the Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity in the amount of $16,000 today! This check will go far in placing assistive technology on farms and in use across Michigan. We thank AGR and the entire Beef Preview Community for their generosity and care. The reach you provide with these dollars goes far beyond what is seen!

Last week, the brothers of Alpha Gamma Rho Tau Chapter attended Michigan State Night at the Detroit Tigers game. They had a great time as the Tigers secured a win against the Brewers.

Introducing our April Brother of the Month: Owen Newland.
Owen rushed in the fall and has already made a huge impact on our chapter. As our current Activities Chair, he organized our annual formal in March and continues to plan social events while always looking for ways to improve the house. In his free time, you can find Owen playing yard games with the brothers and chatting it up.

Next Weekend!! 🚨
Our 6th Annual Golf Outing is next Sunday at Hawk Hallow Golf Course. We still have open spots for teams so please sign up now if you are not already. Can’t wait to see you on the course!
