I joined Alpha Gamma Rho my first semester of my freshman year. Since then, I have gained many friendships and had many great experiences with my brothers. From just hanging out around the house to traveling down to Leadership Convention to one of the many events going on with the fraternity, there always seems to be something going on. I will truly miss it and everything it has done for me.

I joined Alpha Gamma Rho my first semester here at SDSU, and have never looked back. I truthfully believe that I would not be the same man I am today, if not for Alpha Gamma Rho. Through AGR I have gained many life long friendships, and have been involved in numerous activities. I look forward to the future, but will truly miss my home for the last 4 years.
I’m Jonathon Hellina from Harris, Iowa and I graduated with a major in Agronomy.

AGR has allowed me to meet so many people, not only the brothers in the house, but also through internships and other parts of life. AGR has helped me make some of the best friends that will continue to be a part of my life. No matter what the future brings, I am glad I made Alpha Gamma Rho a part of my journey.
