"I love being an Aggie because we have the best education and opportunities available to us and we don't shy away from sharing our school and traditions with others. We live up to our core values and are always ready to BTHO anything that gets in our way. We always travel back home to Aggieland every chance we get and the memories are always with us in our Aggie Rings. Gig'em! Whoop to Gordon's final year in NASCAR!"

"I love being an Aggie because I found who I am during my four years here. I found my best friends, my career, and my future. I was part of traditions bigger than I could ever hope to become. I marched
in the same boots my father did and sat in the same classrooms my mother did. I built my education, my leadership, and my character while having the time of my life with people I will never forget. It is a network and a brotherhood you just can't describe.
Being and Aggie isn't about yelling at midnight or putting a penny on Sul Ross. It's about learning to never give up and work hard for what is truly honorable and worth fighting for. I will forever be proud to call myself a Fightin Texas Aggie."
