“It shall be the objective of this fraternity to promote the profession of agriculture, to establish, foster and develop high standards of scholarship, character, leadership, and a spirit of fellowship among all its members; to create and bond together a body of outstanding technical men and women who, by scholarly attainment, faithful service, and maintenance of ethical ideals and principles, have achieved distinction and are capable of honoring achievement in others. To strive for breadth of vision, unity of action, and accomplishment of ideals; to commend all worthy deeds, and, if fraternal welfare demands, to counsel with its members.”
