Every semester that you wish to be active in AGS, you will need to repeat the entire membership process: fill out an enrollment form and pay your membership dues, as well as fulfill the other membership criteria such as earn 20 service points.

Please note that

Continuing Members - AGS Canvas

Once a member is added into the AGS Canvas, you are welcome to stay in it for Fall + Spring.

AGS Canvas goes through updates during the summer months and all members are removed from the shell. All new and returning members can request to be included in Canvas at the start of the Fall term.

Continuing Members - Summer Term

The club is not typically active during the summer.

Club officers participate in leadership activities throughout the summer. Sometimes from their work they may opt to host a summer social or Membership Orientation. If that opportunity is available, it will be posted on the club's social media and the landing page of our website.

Club Bylaws

Also, the AGS Sigma Rho Bylaws (PF) and the Sigma Rho Member Handbook (PDF) are great resources that shares more detailed information about our chapter. The Bylaws are the document which outline club procedures. The handbook was created to address commonly asked questions. Members are expected to be familiar with the content of both documents.

Our chapter operates between guidelines of the Alpha Gamma Sigma, Inc. organization and by Chabot College's Student Life Office.
