OurOrganizations
SUNY Cobleskill has six Greek organizations in the process of being recognized by the college.
Colors: Green, Gold
Motto: Nurture, Grow, Give Repeat
Alpha Gamma Rho was founded in 1904. Alpha Gamma Rho is a fraternity sharing a common bond within a dynamic, global agriculture committed to fostering the highest values and providing each and every brother with superior lifelong personal development and professional success. With Alpha Gamma Rho you get the best of both worlds. We're a social and professional fraternity, and we've been "making better men" for more than 100 years. We have historically been a strictly-agricultural fraternity, and we are now extending membership to those pursuing careers in agriculture, food and fiber, natural resources, life sciences, and related fields. We strive for professionalism, academic excellence, and lifelong involvement in the colleges and universities we call home. As an organization, we really enjoy lending a helping hand throughout the community we call home. We have recently
partnered with the Iroquois Indian Museum in Howes Cave as an ongoing service
project. We can also be seen lending a helping hand in the Village of Cobleskill, the
Village of Richmondville, The Lord’s Table and Food Pantry, SUNY’s Got Your Back,
Saturday’s Bread in Oneonta, and at Empty Bowls Schoharie County.
Delta Omega Epsilon Fraternity Inc.
Colors:Silver, Black
Motto:Discipline, Dedication, Determination
The Fraternity of Delta Omega Epsilon was founded on April 15, 1985 by Brother Richard Pelestri and Brother Sal Leone. We were established to form a brotherhood, something that reaches beyond that of a friendship. Twenty-five brothers and sisters formed the unity which exists to this day. We as an organization have four goals that we strongly abide by. We encourage and assist the academic progress of fraternity brothers, provide free tutorial and counseling to fraternity brothers, create a brotherhood while attending college, and lastly, we provide students with an opportunity for a business like experience in a fraternal corporation. We also volunteer at community service projects multiple times a year. We’ve worked with the Village of Cobleskill, the Village of Richmondville, Saturday’s Bread in Oneonta, The Lord’s Table and Food Pantry, FAM 5k Run, Empty Bowls Schoharie County, and SUNY’s Got Your Back.

Colors:Green, Gold
Motto:Scholarship, Leadership, Service, Fellowship
Sigma Alpha is a professional agricultural sorority that promotes scholarship, leadership, service and fellowship among its members. The sorority was founded in 1978 at the Ohio State University by five women who wanted an alternative to the social Greek sorority system. Since that time, Sigma Alpha has become a national organization consisting of more than 80 chapters, comprised of undergraduate and alumnae members. The benefits of joining Sigma Alpha include community participation, leadership conferences, scholarships, a large network of sisters, opportunity to serve on the Board of National Sororities and the Educational Foundation Board, and a fun and rewarding experience! We also volunteer very often with community service projects.
