Alpha Gamma Sigma, or AGS as it is often called, is the California Community College Scholastic Honor Society.
The Greek Letters in our name were selected because they are the initials from Greek words whose meanings represent the motto of AGS: “Add to good character, knowledge, and judgment.”
ALPHA stands for “Arete” meaning “Excellence”
GAMMA stands for “Gnosis” meaning “Knowledge”
SIGMA stands for “Sophrosyne” meaning “Wisdom”
In an age where meaningless honors abound, AGS membership requires effort!
If you’re ready to work, we’d love to have you join us!
