Alpha Gamma Sigma is the honor society of the California Community Colleges system. It was founded as the California Junior College Honor Scholarship Society at Fullerton College in 1926. It changed its name in 1932. At that time, Greek letter names for the existing chapters were drawn by lot, with Pasadena City College selecting Alpha. Once all letters of the Greek alphabet were assigned to new chapters, chapters were named using two Greek letters, with names beginning with Alpha, Gamma, and Sigma. The society notes that it did not always follow this practice and, at time, resused the name of inactive chatpers or assigned the same name to two chapters. In addition, a few chapters took names that were different from the normal naming system or never received a Greek letter designation.
Following are the chapters of Alpha Gamma Sigma, with active chapters indicated in bold and inactive chapters in italics.
