Alpha Gamma Rho, Beta House

This week, the men of AGR’s Beta Chapter welcomed Director Brian Baldridge of the Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA) to the house for dinner.

Director Baldridge spent time talking to us about his role in agriculture, as well as what the current landscape looks like across the world. Our members had the chance to ask questions about current issues, including the importance of supporting Ohio agriculture through programs like Ohio Proud and choosing locally grown and produced food.

Thank you, Director Baldridge, for taking the time to join us and share your knowledge and experience with the men of AGR!

This past Tuesday the Alpha Gamma Rho Beta Chapter held its Maximize Your College Experience event featuring many notable speakers such as: Jim Tressel, Marty Grunder, Pete Suerken, Todd Pugh, and Dr. Melissa Shivers! It was a spectacular evening with over a hundred students, staff members, and professionals in attendance.

The events intended purpose was to help college students find ways to improve their collegiate careers, while also seeking further into their lives and how to carry what they’ve learned into their professional career as well!

Brother of the Week🟢🟡‼️

This week’s Brother of the Week is Brant Metz! Brant is a senior Animal Bioscience major from Botkins, Ohio and was also the chapters previous VNR Scholarship chair while currently holding the VNR Planning chair! Brant’s favorite AGR memory is getting sendy on the patio with the Beta Boys. A fun fact about Brant is that he beats Joey Bruns everytime they have the played in the CYO! Congrats, Brant!

Maximize Your College Experience is a professional development and networking event designed to help students maximize their college experience and prepare for successful careers after graduation.

While earning a degree is important, many of the opportunities that shape a student’s future occur outside the classroom. Through a keynote address, moderated panel discussion, and structured networking session, attendees will gain practical insight into leadership, professional development, networking, internships, involvement, and career preparation.

Business casual dress recommended, food will be provided.

This event is open to all students and faculty at OSU.

Last weekend, a couple members of our Exec team went down to Louisville, Kentucky for AGR’s national convention. In Louisville, they learned many valuable tools to implement into our chapter and use for years to come.

In addition, the chapter took home some hardware, one being the Sleeter Bull Most Improved Chapter Award! An award that goes to show the steps men graduated, still active, and future members will continue to uphold for many years to come!

Congratulations to the men of AGR and the successful years they’ve had at the Beta Chapter!

Alpha Gamma Rho is the premier agricultural fraternity at The Ohio State University. While continuing its rich history over that past century of Making Better Men professionally, in the classroom, and through social development, every brother who has gone through membership would agree that AGR was the right choice from the start. Who’s got it better than us?
