Alpha Gamma (ΑΓ) was an American collegiate fraternity. It was founded at Cumberland University in Lebanon, Tennessee in 1867. Perhaps 21 chapters may have developed, with prominent chapters at Washington & Jefferson College, Trinity College (Duke), Mercersburg College, Southwestern Presbyterian University, Cumberland University, and the West Virginia University. Eight of these are known.[1]
The fraternity's badge consisted of a golden shield with a globe, six stars, and a pennant with the letters ΑΓ centered on the globe.[2]
The fraternity eventually disbanded, with Baird's indicating that this occurred in the 1880s.[1] The Trinity (Duke) and West Virginia chapters met their demise because of local anti-fraternity laws.[1] Several chapters, including those at Washington & Jefferson College, Southwestern Presbyterian University at Alabama became chapters of Alpha Tau Omega, with the Washington & Lee chapter joining Chi Phi. These chapter withdrawals occurred over a period of several years, with no specific merger process.[2][1]
