Member Requirements • Alpha Gamma Sigma

Members must provide a minimum of 10 hours service to the chapter and community per semester--at least five hours of fundraising work for the chapter and five hours of community service work of your choice.

Fundraising
Each semester, members decide on group fundraising activities. In the past, AGS members have sponsored food sales, drives, carwashes, and specialty events.

Community Service
Individual members must choose a community service project each semester. The opportunities for volunteerism are endless! In the past, members have volunteered as tutors and youth sports' coaches. They have given time and donations to homeless shelters, senior centers, the needy and political causes. For a list of contacts in the Merced area who are in need of volunteers, see Jennifer McBride.
In addition, AGS sponsors one community service event per semester for members who do not have the time for ongoing, individual service projects.

At the end of each semester, members are required to turn in documentation of their fundraising and community service hours. See an advisor or go to the ASMC office for the Service Points Form.

Dues and Meetings
Upon application each semester, AGS requires a $15.00 dues fee to be paid at the business window (or directly to the treasurer). Attach the receipt to your application. Members are also required to attend at least two meetings per semester. However, to be an informed and fully contributing member, it is recommended that members attend each weekly meeting.
