Alpha Delta wins National AGR Gold Award.

      

(Bozeman, MT) - The national agricultural fraternity, Alpha Gamma Rho, has announced that the Alpha Delta Chapter of Alpha Gamma Rho at Montana State University has achieved the distinguished Gold Award for representing the core values of the Fraternity.

To achieve this Gold Award recognition is a rare accomplishment, that is only bestowed only on those chapters that show Academic excellence and a dedication to building better men in agriculture.

The Alpha Delta chapter worked diligently this year to achieve this award. Members of AGR are heavily involved in a variety of clubs and organizations on campus and many hold leadership positions in their college. This high rate of involvement in campus organizations has helped to raise recruitment, and increased awareness of the benefits of AGR membership. 

In addition to recognition for their agricultural leadership, the Alpha Delta chapter is the perennial winner of MSU’s philanthropy awards.  Known for their hundreds of hours of volunteer Community Service, the Chapter holds an annual “Testy Fest” Concert and fundraiser that allowed them to donate over four-thousand dollars to various charities across Montana this past year.

Alpha Delta’s membership development helps members to become better men, and make solid career contributions to agriculture.  A part of the MSU campus since 1925, Alpha Gamma Rho has created a strong bond that is shared between decades of Alumni and collegiate members. 

Alpha Delta has achieved the Green Award in the past, but now has joined the ten percent of the chapters that are at the prestigious Gold level for Alpha Gamma Rho.  This ranking places Montana State solidly among the top collegiate ag leaders of Purdue, Ohio State, Nebraska, Kansas State and other top agricultural Universities.

Greek Week 2013
    Greetings from Public relations, as the semester winds down the Greek community on campus had a fun time during Greek week. On Tuesday and Wednesday the Greeks handed out hot chocolate, coffee and snacks  on campus. This was a great opportunity to show pride in our houses and meet many fellow students. AGR did a good job during the food drive and the messy twister but in the end was unable to win the competition. To finish up the week AGR received House of the Year, excellence in Philanthropy, Recruitment, and campus involvement. Congratulations brothers keep up the hard work.

Fall Semester 2012!!

Greetings  from Public Relations,  so far it has been an excellent semester for Alpha Delta. We saw a large turnout for Testy fest, which was highly promoted by local media, and put together by our very own Philanthropy chair Clay Bott of Miles City. This led to record returns to be donated on behalf of our chapter to charities including farm rescue. We have seen promising attendance at the activities put together by our recruitment chair, Adam Heggelund of Deer Lodge. They have included some movie nights with the Sororities, paint balling, and several poker nights. Each of the brothers has been making a point to engage these young recruits. By getting to know them we will better understand what they can bring to the house, as well as how we may help them in their college experience. We are all looking forward to activating a substantial group of outstanding young men.  In other news Montana State University alumnus Bill Jimmerson of Bozeman has been selected as a White House Champion of Change and will be honored during a ceremony at the White House on Oct. 9. he is being recognized for outstanding service to his community, and is one of six FFA and 4-H leaders presented with the honor.Bill graduated from MSU with a degree in Agricultural Education in 1970, and has since maintained a steady committment to promoting Alpha Gamma Rho. To this day, he spreads the good word on Alpha Delta reguarly through involvement in Montana FFA, as well as the college of agriculture. Congratulations Bill on this sterling honor, we are all  proud to call you brother. 

Fraternally,

Sweetheart Competition

This past week AGR hosted another successful sweetheart competition, with a new AGR sweetheart being selected. The winner Ceily Rae Highberger of Red lodge Montana ran as an independent, and did an excellent job of winning the hearts and minds of our judges. The other contestants including Kate Storms a Pi Beta Phi from Spokane, Cheyenne Stirling an Alpha Gamma Delta from Shelby, Rachel Abeh a Chi Omega from Livingston, Ashlyn Alsberg an Alpha Omicron Pi from Glasgow, and Katie Hillerman an independent from Helmville, all did an excellent job as well. We congratulate Ceily on her success and look forward to having her as our sweetheart for the coming year.
            On another note Activation is coming up next week, and this week was live-in week. So far we have had seven guys bunk in with us, to see what its like at the AGR house. We have all had fun getting to know these young men, and hope that they have had a positive experience getting to know all of the brothers.
            Pink Rose is coming up on march 24th, we have once again reserved the Stadium club sky box area in Bobcat Stadium, so any Alumni that would like to come please contact us.

Beginning of Spring Semester.

Winter break is over, and it is time once again for the men of Alpha Delta to complete another semester here at Montana State. We begin the new year with several of our newer brothers moving into the house. 

Blake Reynolds, Ben Reed, Brad Holden, and Shad Cristando have joined us, putting the live-in total at 26. Everyone is excited to have them. 

The new semester was marked by many of our brothers attending a meeting for the newly formed Collegiate Stock  growers club in the Animal Bio-Science building. They are partnered with the Montana Stock growers association, to create awareness of the Cattle industry and many issues facing Ranchers in Montana today.

There is much talk throughout the house about the upcoming AGR Sweetheart competition to be held the first week in February. Preparations are being made, and coaches for each contestant as well as the panel of judges will be selected at tonights meeting. 

All of this is sure to make for another exciting semester for the men of Alpha Delta.
