The alumni leadership, with the help of Mike Puckett ’85 and Ai Collaborative, Inc., has assessed the long-term needs of the Alpha Gamma Rho chapter house at the University of Florida and developed a plan to address those needs. Through conversations with and counsel by alumni, it was determined that a fraternity fundraising campaign be conducted, and a new house be built to meet the needs of today’s students and the UF fraternity system.
