The Alpha Upsilon chapter of Alpha Gamma Rho, at UTM, brought home awards this summer from the 100th National AGR Fraternity Convention in Columbus, Ohio.

Awards won included the Maynard Coe Award, which is the highest award given by the national fraternity to a local chapter; an honorable mention in activities; best single-issue Crescent, which is the AGR newsletter; an honorable mention in academics; and the Green Level Chapter Award.

A number of alumni members of the UTM chapter also were named to Brothers of the Century, including Lewis Larson, Bob Duck, Rick Hatler, Ralph Barnett, Joe Davis, Robert Earnest, Daron McMatt, Stanley Miller, Davis Stroud and Buddy Mitchell.

“Such awards would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of the brothers of Alpha Upsilon chapter,” said Jeremy Doggett, AGR historian.

“Many hours of community service and donations to Ag in the Classroom helped the chapter to win these prestigious awards.” Ag in the Classroom is a program designed to help public school children learn about agriculture.
