Alpha Gamma Rho - Iota

Alpha Gamma Rho - Iota The Iota chapter of Alpha Gamma Rho Fraternity at UW-Madison, founded in 1916

Alpha Gamma Rho is a social professional fraternity that provides many opportunities for undergraduate men to discover. It has shaped the futures of many leaders, and the benefits from the positive influences of Alpha Gamma Rho remain in their lives forever. Here at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the Iota Chapter has established excellent relations with the University and College of Agricult

ural and Life Sciences. We believe that many of the leaders in the agriculture industry come from Alpha Gamma Rho.

Well, National Convention was nothing short of a blast! I’m sure the attendees will tell you the same!

After study tours and exploring the city had concluded, convention was underway, with opening ceremonies, a reflection session, and the induction of 5 new honorary brothers. Thursday was all about getting to know our brothers, spending time with those we weren’t so familiar with, and creating the bonds necessary to make better men.

On Friday, our delegates, Rylan Headington and Frederick Blair, alongside Alumni Secretary Matt Olson and Chapter Advisor Jake Greshik, took part in the business portion, voting on two important amendments to the ΑΓΡ Constitution. Meanwhile, other brothers attended a career fair, put on by alumni from chapters across the nation. Here our brothers were eligible for a chance to win a National AGR scholarship. The day ended with a tour of Churchill Downs and a brotherhood bonding social hour!

On Saturday, the final day, awards for chapter excellence were administered, where Iota chapter was fortunate to receive the highest honor for best Crescent feature article. Throughout the day, Iota brothers attended leadership workshops and got to chat with some esteemed Iota alumni, which was a great opportunity!

Our convention ended extraordinarily with a banquet, live auction, and induction of four alumni into the National AGR Hall of Fame. One of our brothers, Nick Needham, was also fortunate enough to receive one of the national scholarships from Friday!

Overall, this was an experience like no other! Thank you to those who made this trip possible, as it truly was an experience of a lifetime!

While in Kentucky…

The Rhos are headed down to Kentucky for the week for the biannual AGR National Convention! Before Convention begins on Thursday, August 6th, the men who travelled were fortunate enough to be provided the opportunity for a few study tours!

The study tours included seeing the original Louisville Slugger Factory and Museum, observing how bats crafted from start to finish. We then travelled to our next study tour: A nostalgic bourbon distillery that still operates today! We ended the day with a tour of Hermitage Farms, home of some of the best race horses in the world!

As lots of information was learned and lifelong memories were made, we want to extend a huge thank you to all of our alumni chapter that made this possible. The experience was something truly extraordinary and extremely valuable!

Without further ado, the convention is just only beginning!
