History of AGS

Since 1962, AGS has been a state-wide organization of community college societies, with the aim of recognizing and encouraging high scholastic achievement, leadership and service among community college students. Today there are more than 80 active chapters in California.

The name Alpha Gamma Sigma is based on the first letter of each of the three Greek words that comprise the motto of our organization: Arete(virtue), Gnosis(knowledge), and Sophrosyne(wisdom).

We invite you to take this opportunity to participate in campus life and to reap the many benefits that AGS offers to eligible students.
