Nagel said this is one reason their recruitment efforts have become more successful in recent years. But Nagel said they are not satisfied and are looking to continue expanding.
Although they had to sell the house on Osteopathy in 1996 due to a lack of members, Magers said they are in the beginning stages of a search for an additional house to their current one at the corner of Normal and Mulanix.
Magers said he credits some of the increase in numbers to an increase in support of the agriculture department from the Board of Regents.
Overall, Magers said he likes the direction the fraternity is headed. He said AGR avoids some of the problems caused by having a larger group of men and their egos in the same house.
"We're excited about some of the things that the boys are doing now. We've got a good size, and we're at a manageable level," Magers said.
Magers said the fraternity has been through a lot since that early morning phone call over 30 years ago.
"We've worked our way out of it, we have no debt, and now we have the guys that are really on a recruitment move," Magers said. "Hopefully it's a sign of great things to come."
