Alpha Gamma Omega was a small club that took pride in its special capacity as such. The name "AGO" came from the slogan, "I lead, I bring, I go," and the club tried to live up to its name. The club strove to excel both spiritually and athletically. Numerous devotionals throughout each semester served to strengthen and build up the club members. One of the most uplifting traditions of the club was the annual "ThankSing," a night of singing praises to God with the entire student body invited. The men of AGO also strove to be spiritual leaders in their personal lives; each member, with the support of their brothers, made it a point to exemplify Christ in everything he did·. AGO carried this attitude onto the sports field as well. They not only competed well, but they strove to set the standard in sportsmanship. The club won both the fall softball championship and the club volleyball championship for small club ''N.' team. AGO also boasted a first-rate bowling and swimming team. The crown was placed on AGO's sports program when they won the small club All Sports Award for 1986-87. AGO brought a great deal to Harding and the community. The club supplied the members with many upportive projects. Members served at a banquet at the Downtown Church of Christ during the fall lectureship. They also worked the consession stand during football season . One major event for the club was a canoe trip down Buffalo River in northern Arkansas. The trip was such a success that the club planned to make it a regular event. A Little Rock riverboat provided the setting for the spring banquet, a special time for the men and their dates. AGO worked to be an outstanding club. As one member said, "The guys in AGO really know what Jesus meant when he said, Just as I have loved you, o you must love one another." 54A~haGamma0mega Single Clubs TIM JONES ...
