The purpose of Alpha Gamma Sigma is to foster, promote, maintain, and recognize academic excellence.

​

Our state organization encourages local chapters to create cultural, social, service, and enrichment programs for community college students, either on their own or with other chapters.

​

Our chapter supports academic excellence, service, leadership, and community. We create opportunities for members to grow, connect, and contribute.

At Diablo Valley College, we believe that joining the AGS does not only provide students a great opportunity to have academic success acknowledged, but AGS also helps students to develop individuality and leadership skills.

The Gamma Psi Chapter intends to develop the human qualities of its members by having them participate in expanded community services and activities. We emphasize on the interconnection between the advisers, the board of officers and the members in order to support each other in walking through the rough but successful academic pathway.
We hope that the experience at Alpha Gamma Sigma impacts the life of most our members and eventually brings them scholarships, which reward their efforts on the behalf of our organization. 

Alpha Gamma Sigma (AGS) is an honors’ society that was established in 1926 by Dr. William T. Boyce. In 1940, AGS was incorporated under California law.
