About
AGS is a statewide honor society. Fullerton College’s chapter (Epsilon) is the founding chapter since AGS was founded by a former president of Fullerton College, William T. Boyce. The library at Fullerton College is named in Dr. Boyce’s honor.
After you apply to be a member of AGS, you must complete a total of 20 hours of community service per semester:
- 10 hours doing events organized by AGS (e.g. campus events, weekend activities, etc.)
- 10 hours for events and services coordinated by other organizations (like volunteering at your community center, church, etc.)
Completing your hours is required to be in good standing, which makes you eligible for our scholarships, transcript notation, and perks during Commencement (graduation). The spring semester is also the perfect time to join since it looks fantastic on your academic resume as you get ready to apply for scholarships, graduation, and transfer.
What does “AGS” mean?
Α – Alpha is “Arête” meaning Excellence
Γ – Gamma is “Gnosis” meaning Knowledge
Σ – Sigma is “Sophrosyne” meaning Wisdom
