Gamma Chapter 4001 Holdrege St. Lincoln, NE 68503 Ph: (402) 436-7155

The Fraternity of Alpha Gamma Sigma has a rich heritage of brotherhood. From chapter to chapter the brotherhood that binds our Fraternity is vested in the Thirteen Principles our forefathers selected to guide our Fraternity.

From this rich heritage, we have grown and prospered. Brother after brother has passed through the hallowed halls of our chapter house, each in their own way being touched by their experiences at Alpha Gamma Sigma.

The mission statement of Alpha Gamma Sigma brings into focus why our Fraternity exists:

Preparing men for life by:

Coming together as scholars,

Living as brothers,

Becoming leaders of tomorrow.

A successful fraternity experience must be grounded in the three elements of our mission. We come together to help each other learn and prepare. We understand that no brotherhood can survive without academic achievement as a core value. As each brother learns and grows, so does the brotherhood of the fraternity.

History of the Gamma Chapter

November 7, 1953 marked the initiation of the charter members of the Gamma Chapter. The first step in the organization of the Gamma Chapter was taken when members of the Beta Chapter contacted Assistant Dean Hixon of the University of Nebraska, College of Agriculture. Dean Hixon in turn approached the members of the Agricultural Men's Club, an independent group of agricultural students and the University of Nebraska. Approximately half of the Club decided to colonize with Alpha Gamma Sigma Fraternity.

These members asked Professor Donald R. Warner, an alumnus of the Beta Chapter, for additional information and advice. Professor Warner served as an advisor during the entire period of colonization. On March 14, 1953 a delegation from the Beta Chapter met with the interested men to discuss the plans for colonization. The Gamma Club of Alpha Gamma Sigma was established on April 20, 1953. On November 7, 1953 the Gamma Club became an active chapter, the Gamma Chapter, of Alpha Gamma Sigma Fraternity.
