Fraternity-Wide Events
- Founders' Day Banquet. The last Saturday of February, the active and alumni members hold a lunch-time banquet to celebrate the founding of the fraternity. Usually held at The Castaway restuarant in Burbank, the banquet is usually followed by an after-party at the home of a local alumnus.
- Pismo Beach Flag Football Tournament. Every October, the various chapters compete on the Pismo-Oceano Dunes against one another for the trophy, followed by an evening of dinner and prayer in San Luis Obispo.
- Prayer at Noon
- Monday Night Meetings
Membership Requirements
Pledges may become active members of an AGO chapter at the invitation of the current active members. To become eligible for consideration, pledges must endure the rules and regulations that each Chapter has established.
Legal Issues
U.S. Federal and state laws prohibit campus organizations at public universities from discriminating in their membership based on religion. However, it is well-accepted that an organization ought not be forced to accept into its leadership those persons who disagree with its very stated purpose. Because AGO's primary purpose is to spread the Gospel, the fraternity requires that its officers submit to Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and subscribe to the Fraternity Statement of Faith.
