It is similar to Phi Beta Kappa in four-year colleges across the United States and it is sort of a combination of the National Honor Society, California Scholastic Federation, and Key Club in high schools. Its purpose is to foster, promote, maintain, and recognize excellence in scholastic achievement as well as to provide the campus and community with service-oriented activities. Founded by Dr. William T. Boyce in 1925, Alpha Gamma Sigma has grown into a statewide system of honor society chapters that regularly honor their members through scholastic awards and provide other incentives toward intellectual achievement and community service. Alpha Gamma Sigma is one of the most prestigious of all student organizations. <p> It offers opportunities for cultural, social, and enrichment experiences. Some of the advantages and benefits of being a part of Alpha Gamma Sigma are: <p> <li>Recognition of Permanent Members at graduation ceremonies. </li> <li>A Record of Alpha Gamma Sigma membership on your student transcript. </li> <li>Inter-Community College Enterprise in Scholastic Achievement. </li> <li>Opportunities to receive scholarship and other recognition awards. </li> <li>Participation in Alpha Gamma Sigma Regional Conferences and statewide conventions with other colleges. </li> <p> The organization is run entirely by its student members and is committed to providing services to our surrounding communities. Our members participate in various events such as raising money for AIDS research in the annual AIDS Walk. We provide free tutorial services, help serve meals to the homeless, and donate blood to the American Red Cross. Hours are spent collecting toys and food during holidays in hopes that the less fortunate can share in the holiday joy. Each year, many members attend the annual Alpha Gamma Sigma State Conference that cultivates their leadership skills. <p> We encourage you to consider joining Alpha Gamma Sigma at San Joaquin Delta College because if you can meet the primary requirements, it will definitely be worth your time! <table width="100%"><Tr><Td align="right"><a href="#top"><font size="1">Back to Top</font></a><hr color="#88B9F4"></td></tr></table> <BR><p><BR><p><BR><p><BR><p><BR><p><BR><p><BR><p><BR><p><BR><p><Br><p><Br><p><Br><p><Br><p><Br><p><Br><p><Br><p><Br><p><Br><p><Br><p><Br><p><Br><p><Br><p><Br><p><Br><p><Br><p><Br><p><Br><p><Br><p><Br><p><Br><p><Br><p> <a name="greekletters"></a><B><font color="#DFFFE1" size="3"><u>What does AGS mean?</u></font></b><br> Alpha Gamma Sigma, or AGS as it is often called, is the California Community College Scholastic Honor Society.

One was a small book by the "Daddy" of Alpha Gamma Sigma. Dr. William T. Boyce, entitled My Years in the Fullerton Junior College, 1915-1950. Another is a conference program of the "Second Annual Conference, California Junior College Honor Society, April 2, 1932." The third is the 1941 edition of The Torchbearer of Alpha Gamma Sigma. Information discovered in these three publications has led to a few necessary changes in the <u>History of Alpha Gamma Sigma</u> as presented in earlier editions of the Handbook.</font> <p> <b><font size="3" color="#66BAFF" face="comic sans ms">ALPHA GAMMA SIGMA BEFORE 1950:</font></b><br><Br> Dr. William T. Boyce was, in 1925, Head Administrator of Fullerton Junior College, and he is the man chiefly responsible for the formation of the California Junior College Honor Society which eventually became the Alpha Gamma Sigma we know today. Here is a quote from his book: <p><table><tr><td width="100"></td><td><font color="#A2E7FD">"In 1925 I conceived the idea of promoting a state-wide junior college honor scholarship society. I saw in it an intellectual stimulus, comparable to that of Phi Beta Kappa in the higher colleges. Superintendent Louis E. Plummer supported the idea. With his backing, I invited Merton Hill, Chaffey Junior College administrator, and Dr. K. Hammond, administrator for Santa Ana Junior College, to come to Fullerton to join Plummer and me in a consideration of the proposal. I emphasized specific advantages in the plan as follows:<br><br> <font color="lightgreen"><li><font color="#A2E7FD">It would be an incentive to study and strive for scholastic honor.</li></font></font> <font color="lightgreen"><li><font color="#A2E7FD">It would be an inter-junior college enterprise in scholastic achievement.</li></font></font> <font color="lightgreen"><li><font color="#A2E7FD">It would commend the junior colleges to the higher education institutions.</li></font></font> <font color="lightgreen"><li><font color="#A2E7FD">It would add luster to commencement exercises to recognize the graduating student who had qualified for membership.</li></font></font><br><br> The proposal was heartily endorsed, and I was asked to formulate the plan and present it for adoption by all the junior colleges in California. The response was approval, adoption, and the formation of chapters."</font></td><td width="50"></td></tr></table> <p>According to Dr. Boyce, the original constitution of the society was adopted in 1926. At the Principal's Convention in May, 1926, a special committee was appointed consisting of Dr. Albert Williams (Fullerton), chairman, Miss. Kathleen D. Loly (Pasadena) Miss Belle Collidge, Mr. W. W. Mather, and Mr. C. S. Morris. The committee was given full authority to select and design a pin, to have the pin made, and to call meetings of an Advisory Board. At first, the pin was a flat, one-piece gold pin with an open book and a blazing torch on a shield (similar to the present design) but with the word "California" across the top the words "Honor Society" across the book, and the letters "JC" at the bottom. The Advisory Board was to consist of the faculty advisors of the local honor societies which had met the minimum requirements provided for by the constitution and had been formally notified to that effect by the committee. <p>During the first year, chapters were established at Bakersfield, Chaffey, Fullerton, Pasadena, Santa Ana, Santa Maria, and San Bernardino. The next year brought in Citrus, Sacramento, Compton, Glendale. Long Beach, Taft, and Pomona. These fifteen chapters were invited to send representatives to the first meeting of the Advisory Board in Pasadena on November 24, 1928. Sacramento withdrew, and the other fourteen chapters were represented at the first Spring Convention of the society which (judging from the date on the printed program of the second convention) has to have been held in 1931. <p>A request from the students that a Greek name be adopted instead of the cumbersome name "California Junior College Honor Scholarship Society." Accordingly, in 1932 a committee consisting of Dr. Grace Baumgartner, Miss Kathleen Loly, and Dr. Albert Williams selected the motto: "Add to good character, knowledge and judgment." They took the three Greek words "Arete," "Gnosis," and "Sophrosyne" as the embodying the meaning of the motto, and then chose the initial letters of those three words, Alpha Gamma Sigma, as the name of the society. The design of the pin was changed to include the Greek letters. <p>At the second Spring Convention at San Bernardino on April 2, 1932, chapter names were drawn by lot and Pasadena, much to their satisfaction, drew the coveted Alpha slip. Since that time the society has undergone a variety of changes. <p>In 1940, Alpha Gamma Sigma became incorporated under California law. The articles of incorporation give the official name of the society as "ALPHA GAMMA SIGMA, THE CALIFORNIA JUNIOR COLLEGE HONOR SCHOLARSHIP SOCIETY." The purpose of the organization are stated in the articles of incorporation as follows:<p> <table><tr><td width="100"></td><td><font color="#A2E7FD"> <font color="lightgreen"><li><font color="#A2E7FD">To promote, recognize, encourage, and foster scholarship and educational attainments among students of the junior colleges of the State of California;</li></font></font> <font color="lightgreen"><li><font color="#A2E7FD">To recognize students attaining high scholastic records;</li></font></font> <font color="lightgreen"><li><font color="#A2E7FD">To make students more conscious of the advantage of high scholarship;</li></font></font> <font color="lightgreen"><li><font color="#A2E7FD">To bring together students attaining high scholastic records for their mutual benefit.</li></font></font></td></tr></table> <p>From the copy of the Spring Convention program printed in the 1941 edition of The Torchbearer of Alpha Gamma Sigma, it is clear that student members were present and active at the 1941 Convention at Reedley Junior College. World War II seems to have halted such student participation, for the minutes of the Advisory Board meeting at the state convention of 1954 state that"this is the first state Alpha Gamma Sigma Convention since the war in which students were invited to participate." <p><br><Br> <b><font size="3" color="#66BAFF" face="comic sans ms">ALPHA GAMMA SIGMA FROM 1950 TO 1972:</font></b><br> <p>The 1950 revision of the AGS Constitution had given the student members to authority to form their own organization. Nothing was done about this until the chapter advisors of the colleges in the southern part of the state invited students to attend the Southern Regional Conference at Santa Monica City College on December 5, 1953. There it was decided to divide the state into three regions  Southern, Central and Northern  and to invite members from the other two regions to attend the Spring Convention to formulate a set of bylaws for the proposed Student Organization. The amount of time available at the convention did not allow completion of the organization at that time, but the task did get finished and the new bylaws were ratified by the Advisory Board in time for implementation at the following Spring Convention. Note that the ratification of the bylaws for the Student Organization was done by the advisors! <p>The 1950 revision of the AGS Constitution was amended in 1958, 1966, 1967, 1968, and 1969! Each amendment resulted in giving the students more authority and responsibility in running AGS. By 1972 it had become evident that what was really needed was a complete revision of the Constitution. Under the advisor ship of William Miller, Advisor of the Diablo Valley Chapter of AGS, a group of students formed a constitutional revision committee. By February of 1973 they had met several times and finally had a new constitution ready to present to the membership at the 1973 Spring Convention on Catalina Island. There the new constitution was ratified BY THE STUDENTS. <p><br><br> <b><font size="3" color="#66BAFF" face="comic sans ms">ALPHA GAMMA SIGMA FROM 1972 TO 1987:</font></b><br> <p>The 1973 revision was a good constitution, but it provided for a grouping of chapters into "areas" of five to ten colleges. Although this structure looked good on paper, it soon proved unworkable. The ability to do everything as the constitution said it should be done was a source of guilt feelings on the part of the older advisor and outright confusion on the part of new ones. No one on the Advisory Board objected when it was moved to form a constitution revision committee made up of advisors. The framers of the 1973 revision had long since gone elsewhere, and the student members of 1983-84 didn¼t know about the newest revision until they were asked to approve it. This they did at the State Convention at Asilomar in 1984. As of 1987, no one has seen any need to amend it. <p>Although the society has been functioning under a "constitution" since 1925, and although the revisions of 1950 and 1973 were both called "constitutions," the Advisory Board committee appointed to draw up the 1984 revision decided that "the constitution" was really the 1940 Articles of Incorporation and that the document under revision should more properly be called the "Bylaws of Alpha Gamma Sigma, Incorporated." As late as 1987, some of the older members of the Advisory Board were still referring to the "Bylaws" as the "Constitution." <p>The 1984 Bylaws of Alpha Gamma Sigma, Inc. were designed to reflect current practices and to provide a feasible structure for the efficient functioning of the organization. Each chapter has its own set of bylaws which coordinate with those of the state organization in terms of name, purpose, and membership eligibility regulations. <p>In addition to the bylaws, which can be amended only by the special process described within them, there is a set of Standing Rules, Policies and Procedures which can be formed and changed by a majority vote of a quorum of the Advisory Board members, Both the Bylaws and the Standing Rules are included in the Handbook. Every AGS Advisor should become well acquainted with both. <p>Those members and advisors who attended the Alpha Gamma Sigma Spring Convention at Asilomar in April of 1986 can tell you that the sixtieth anniversary of the founding of AGS was grandly celebrated. <p><br><br> <b><font size="3" color="#66BAFF" face="comic sans ms">A Special Word of Explanation:</font></b><br> <p>Students and new advisors attending an Alpha Gamma Sigma Spring Convention for the first time are sometimes confused when they learn there are three "chairmen" or "presidents" and two treasures in the organization. The explanation is as follows: <p>Alpha Gamma Sigma consists of THREE groups of members all of which meet at the Spring Convention. The first is the Advisory Board made up of all the chapter advisors (as provided by the 1926 constitution). The second is the Board of Directors (now called the Board of Trustees) provided for by the 1940 Articles of Incorporation. And the third group is the student organization which was originally provided for by the 1950 revision of the AGS Constitution. Each has its own president or chairman, and each has its own special concerns.

More information on these scholarships, and the application forms, can be found <a href="scholarship.html" target="_blank">here</a>. (A popup window should appear). Fill and print out the application forms if you wish to apply for the scholarships. They are due to us by Wednesday, March 13 because the advisors require time to nominate a few good applicants to send to the state conference. Remember that if you do get nominated, you are required to attend the State Conference. The deadline to pay for the conference is Wednesday, March 6. <table width="100%"><Tr><Td align="right"><a href="#top"><font size="1">Back to Top</font></a><hr color="#88B9F4"></td></tr></table> <p><br><BR> <!-- End Middle --> </td><td width="5"><img src="images/b.jpg"></td></tr></table> <centeR><hr width="60%" color="lightblue"><b><a href="_mid.html"><span style="text-decoration: overline">Home</span></a> | <a href="whatisags.html"><span style="text-decoration: overline">What is AGS?</span></a> | <a href="events.html"><span style="text-decoration: overline">Events</span></a> | <a href="officers.html"><span style="text-decoration: overline">Officers</span></a> | <a href="members.html"><span style="text-decoration: overline">Members</span></a> | <a href="gallery.html"><span style="text-decoration: overline">Gallery</span></a> | <a href="about.html"><span style="text-decoration: overline">About</span></a> | <a href="links.html"><span style="text-decoration: overline">Links</span></a></b><hr width="60%" color="lightblue"></center> </body></html>
