Alpha Sigma Gamma was created in 1993 to recognize the academic and scholarly achievements of real estate students, faculty and professionals throughout the world. It is the premier organization of its kind with over 1,300 lifetime members.

Students interested in applying for membership in Alpha Sigma Gamma must first ask their academic advisor or program director to verify eligibility for membership before paying a lifetime membership fee of $40 via credit card on ARES's website. Those initiated receive a membership certificate, lapel pin, and opportunity for recognition as the Alpha Sigma Gamma Student of the Year, which carries a $500 cash prize.

University faculty members interested in finding out more about Alpha Sigma Gamma and the benefits it provides students can do so by contacting the president directly or by going to the ARES website at www.ares.org. All faculty who help their students join the honorary society receive complimentary memberships.
