By: Dustin C. Read, PhD/JD, Virginia Tech

Alpha Sigma Gamma,
The International Real Estate Honorary Society

Alpha Sigma Gamma is pleased to welcome 106 new members in 2020 from 9 institutions including the College of Charleston, Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne, Mississippi State University, Roosevelt University, Virginia Tech, University of Alabama - Tuscaloosa, University of Denver, University of North Texas, and University of Washington. With these additions, the organization now has 1,376 members representing 47 institutions. Alpha Sigma Gamma also recognized Lilian Yool of Roosevelt University as the 2020 Graduate Student of the Year and Owin Orr of the University of Denver as the 2020 Undergraduate Student of the Year.

Any full-time faculty members interested in learning more about Alpha Sigma Gamma are encouraged to reach out to the organization’s leadership to discuss the benefits it offers undergraduate and graduate students. Opportunities exist to serve as the local president of a newly formed chapter or simply help individual students obtain membership in Alpha Sigma Gamma through its affiliated-school program. Both are viable options for faculty members who desire to recognize their students.

After a review of their credentials, students satisfying Alpha Sigma Gamma’s requirements pay a one-time fee of $40 for a lifetime membership in the organization. Benefits include a membership certificate, lapel pin, and an opportunity to win one of two $500 awards recognizing one undergraduate student and one graduate student for excellence both inside and outside the classroom.

Additional information about Alpha Sigma Gamma can be obtained on the American Real Estate Society’s website, www.aresnet.org, or by contacting Dustin Read directly at dcread@vt.edu or (540) 231-0773.
