National Leadership
The National Fraternity is the power by virtue of which local Chapters exist; it brings to any one of them the collective strength of all the Chapters. It is the guarantee of unity of purpose and ideas without which each Chapter would be exposed to local pressures that would ultimately make it a mere local club.
It also provides many valuable services to each Chapter – services that Chapters would find difficult or impossible to provide for themselves.
We should never forget that each of us is an integral part of the total that is called "national". What we get out of it may be in direct proportion to what we put into it, not in dollars and cents, but in brotherhood and other benefits. The finest testimony to the success of Alpha Gamma Rho cannot be told; it must be demonstrated because it lies in the hearts and minds of our Brothers; men who share together the intensity of learning, friendship, leadership, and fellowship that is Alpha Gamma Rho.
