at the California School of Podiatric Medicine in San Francisco, California. This marked the first chapter to be founded on the West Coast. For the next three decades, Alpha Gamma Kappa Fraternity remained a small yet integral part of the campus community of the colleges at which it existed. At the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine it started and maintained a free clinic completely run by students to provide podiatric medical care to the less fortunate in Cleveland. At Scholl and California, it provided a cornerstone for student social life and grew to be a “vivid social experience” for podiatric medical students. It was not until 2007 that another chapter would be chartered. A transfer student from Scholl College to the Barry University School of Podiatric Medicine in Miami, Florida sought to create a fraternal organization at the school that would encourage fraternalism and a kindred spirit amongst a diverse student population. Through the efforts of many, this dream was realized and on October 2, 2007, the Delta chapter of Alpha Gamma Kappa Fraternity was founded. Subsequent chapters have been chartered at the Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine in 2008 and the Des Moines University College of Podiatric Medicine and Surgery in 2009, respectively. In 2013, the Scholl Alpha chapter saw a resurgence in social and fundraising activities. This has mainly been due to a new, enthusiastic executive board led by Neil Ermitano (president) Frank Narcisi (social vice president), and Jeff Stych (academic vice president). Under this new leadership, Alpha Gamma Kappa has raised thousands of dollars to provide care for uninsured patients through Rosalind Franklin University's new Interprofessional Community Clinic. As a result of this recent success, Alpha Gamma Kappa has reestablished themselves as the premiere social fraternity at Rosalind Franklin University. Government Since 1939, the Fraternity has functioned as a confederation with chapters being loosely affiliated to one another. There have been no national officers or convention. Individual chapters are subordinate to the respective podiatric medical student association at their college or school. Alpha Gamma Kappa has long been considered the oldest and most prestigious of the podiatric medical fraternities; the other major podiatric medical fraternity being Kappa Tau Epsilon, established at the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine in 1965. Symbols and Insignia The white rose is the official flower of the Fraternity. Its significance is explained in the pledge ceremony as "the white rose is emblematic
