ABOUT US

"I found a group of not just friends, but a group of brothers with God as the foundation for our bond."

- ANGEL CALIMAG | SAN DIEGO STATE CHAPTER ALUMNUS

Alpha Gamma Omega is a Christ-centered social fraternity. Alpha Gamma Omega (or. A-G-O) was founded in 1927 by a group of zealous young believers at UCLA and has since expanded to multiple campuses across the USA.

AGO exists to provide a lifelong brotherhood that is rooted in Christ and promotes leadership and spiritual development.

AGO taught me what it means to give others support even though I’m not getting anything back."

- NATHAN HYUN | EMMY AWARD WINNING JOURNALIST, USC CHAPTER ALUMNUS

Alpha Gamma Omega is committed to fostering a brotherhood of men dedicated to the principles of Christian living, academic excellence, and servant leadership.

Our mission is to empower each brother to embody Christian values, uphold moral integrity, and positively impact the world around us through service, fellowship, and unwavering commitment to the teachings of Jesus Christ. AGO seeks to inspire a generation of leaders who lead with love, humility, and a profound dedication to making a difference in the lives of others.

“The leadership experience I gained as AGO president helped me later in life… I chaired my church board for 6 years, led a new business line at a major consulting firm, and have discipled men for years. It all began at AGO.”

Mark Hoyt | Senior Partner, UCLA Chapter Alumnus

"Fraternity For Eternity" - AGO's Motto

This reflects our belief that brotherhood doesn’t end at graduation—it begins a lifelong journey of walking together in faith. As brothers in Christ, our bond goes beyond campus life, pointing toward an eternal fellowship grounded in our shared pursuit of God’s Kingdom.

"Where Today's Christian Brother Shapes Tomorrow's Christian Leaders" - AGO's Mission

Our mission is to grow in faith together, encouraging each other not only as brothers but as future leaders grounded in Christ. In Alpha Gamma Omega, every moment of brotherhood is also a step toward lifelong impact—for God’s Kingdom, our communities, and beyond.

"Study To Show Thyself Approved Unto God, a Workman Needeth Not to be Ashame, Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth" 2 Timothy 2:15 - AGO's Verse

This verse sums up what it means to be a Christian brother in Alpha Gamma Omega — grounded in truth, diligent in faith, and committed to living a life that honors God. It challenges each member to be a worker approved by God, not just in college, but for life and eternity.

History of AGO

The history of Alpha Gamma Omega dates back to the Fall semester of the 1926-27 school year when three students at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) met during lunchtime for prayer and fellowship. These men began planing the establishment of a Christian club on campus. E. Harlan Fischer sent letters to 35 students during the Christmas break, inviting them to a dinner meeting at the Green Dragon Cafe on January 7, 1927. At the dinner, 16 men gathered to cast a vision.

Those present at the cafe felt that a Christian fraternity, founded on Christian ideals and fellowship, would be more reputable than a Christian club. E. Harlan Fischer appointed a committee to draw up a Constitution. This Constitution was submitted and accepted at the first official meeting of the Fraternity on February 15, 1927. Twelve men signed as charter members and Alpha Gamma Omega was founded.

In a 1944 letter to the Alpha Chapter at UCLA, founder E. Harlan Fischer wrote, “The primary purpose of AGO was to provide Christian fellowship for born-again men thrown into an atmosphere of Godlessness and to give forth a testimony to others of the saving and keeping power of the Lord Jesus Christ.”
