I’ve never been too big on being an Aggie. No one in my family went to Texas A&M, I’ve never bled maroon and — y’all are really going to hate this one — I even grew up a Longhorn fan. As...

In the great words of Jordan Terrell Carter’s song “24 Songs,” “I can't believe we made it this far.”  This Friday, I will be stepping through the grand doors of the The Association of Former...

Ring Day means so much to me. Not only does receiving my Aggie Ring mean I get to be part of an ongoing tradition that has been around for over 100 years and get to connect with other Aggies around the...
