From Trev Peters
When I made the decision to come to UNL from my small town in central Nebraska, I knew it was going to be critical for me to find a community of men who shared my values and could help me navigate a campus that has almost 25,000 students. This is how I knew that Greek Life was the route I wanted to take. The next step was finding a house where I felt like I belonged.
The father of a high school classmate of mine was an alumni of AGS and he brought up the idea of rushing the house that summer. I agreed and went on a rush dinner shortly after my graduation. Everything about the meal felt right and I instantly knew this could be somewhere I saw myself for the next few years. The following weekends I attended rush events and could not have been more impressed by the active members. They were welcoming and seemed to take a genuine interest in me as a person. I took a house tour in mid-summer and was blown away; it was not your typical frat house. It was clean, well-kept, and had suite-style living. This sealed the deal for my decision. When I returned home the first thing I did was sign my bid.
Over the last 2 years, I have not regretted my decision once. Being able to network with 96 guys while living in the best house on campus has made my college experience even more rewarding. AGS has given me some of my closest friendships and best memories. The experiences I have had, and the people I have met will continue to endure well beyond my college career.
AGS has challenged me to excel not only in the classroom and on campus but also socially, emotionally, spiritually, and physically—shaping me into a better man in every aspect of my life. Through our leadership program, I have developed the skills, confidence, and mindset to be a leader not only in college but also in my community, allowing me to make a meaningful impact beyond my college career.
All of these benefits are what made me decide that I needed to take on the role of rush chairman and help other young men find a place that values them and wants to grow them as people, not just as members. I truly believe that AGS will bring an immense amount of value to your college experience and help you grow into the best version of yourself.
My goal as rush chairman is to ensure that every potential new member feels the same sense of belonging and opportunity that I did when I first walked through these doors. AGS is more than just a fraternity—it’s a brotherhood that, since 1953 has been “Preparing Men for Life by Coming Together as Scholars, Living as Brothers, and Becoming Leaders of Tomorrow”. I look forward to welcoming the next generation of leaders into our house and helping them build a foundation for success in college and beyond.

From Carter Holtmeier
Growing up, I always heard stories from my dad (Kirk Holtmeier Γ623) about his time in AGS—the friendships he built, the lessons he learned, and the strong sense of brotherhood that stayed with him long after college. All the crazy stories he had shared with me about all the “smart” things him and his Fraternity brothers did is one of the many reasons why I wanted to continue the legacy. When I first stepped into the AGS house, I immediately understood what he had been talking about. The welcoming atmosphere and brotherhood made it feel like home.
One of the best parts of being in AGS has been having brothers who share my major. Walking to class on the first day and seeing familiar faces made the transition to college so much easier. Having study partners just down the hall has been a game-changer when it comes to tough assignments and preparing for exams.
What sets AGS apart for me is the shared small-town values and the drive of its members to constantly improve. Being surrounded by brothers who are motivated to succeed academically and personally is truly inspiring. Whether it’s late-night conversations, a quick study session, or just hanging out all day, I know I can always count on the guys here.
AGS has also played a huge role in helping me in my future. The support and guidance from my brothers and alumni have been incredibly valuable, and I know these connections will continue to benefit me throughout my career.
Looking ahead, I’m excited about the lifelong relationships AGS has already given me and will continue to provide. Seeing how my dad’s friendships and experiences with AGS have lasted over the years makes me appreciate this brotherhood even more. AGS isn’t just a fraternity—it’s a home, a support system, and a place that fosters both personal and professional growth. If you’re looking for a brotherhood that values community, success, and lifelong connections, AGS is the place to be.
