  • Alpha Gamma Rho Blood Drive

     
    An AGR sponsored blood drive, in conjunction with Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center was conducted on the Texas A&M campus at the beginning of the 2010 spring semester.  Brothers were present to help sign people up to give blood as well as hand out T-shirts to the donors. All brothers contributed blood to the drive as well.  The expected donor number was projected at 20 people and the AGR Blood Drive finished the day with 30 donors, making the event a huge success for Alpha Gamma Rho as well as the Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center. AGR would like to extend a big thank you to all of those who gave blood and the volunteers with the Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center.

    Can Tab Collectibles for a Cure

     
    The brothers of Alpha Gamma Rho spent the last year collecting empty soda cans for the aluminum can tabs. Blue barrels were placed around the campus of Texas A&M University and at the site of football game tailgates for anyone to dispose of their empty cans in.  After a year of collecting, all the barrels were gathered up and each individual can tab was removed and placed in gallon milk jugs.  The milk jugs were then donated to a charity organization for Multiple Sclerosis.  At the end of the project Alpha Gamma Rho had collected fifteen 50-gallon barrels of empty soda cans. Each milk jug of can tabs was responsible for providing one round of treatment for a child with Multiple Sclerosis.  The project was a huge success thanks to the hard work and dedication of all the brothers.
