We’re pleased to welcome you to Traditions Night: A Student-Athlete’s First Tradition! In summer 2017, the first effort to create such an event resulted in the partnership of Fish Camp and Texas A&M Athletics to create Fish Camp Session Zero, the first ever Student-Athlete only Fish Camp Session. We continued and expanded our partnership with the Division of Student Affairs including Fish Camp and Aggie Transition Camp to create a unique first year experience for our student-athletes. We entitled this extended orientation experience Traditions Night. The purpose of Traditions Night, an interactive campus tour, is to officially welcome incoming student-athletes to Texas A&M University by providing you with a program that captures the spirit of Aggieland. Student-athletes choose to attend TAMU for a variety of reasons, and unlike the majority of the student population many do not really know the true depth of the traditions that make Texas A&M University, Texas A&M. Our goal is to provide our students with an extended orientation program that leaves each student feeling a greater sense of belonging and pride in their university. 2 DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS WELCOME 3 LETTER FROM THE NAMESAKE 4 TRADITIONS NIGHT LEADERSHIP TEAM This is your traditions leadership team!

The twelve arches represent the spirit of the 12th man, an idea that is significant to the history of our university. The Corp of Cadets, also known as the ‘Keepers of the Spirit’, live in this section of campus, and can often be found practicing formation on the quad. THE ACADEMIC PLAZA Located in the heart of campus, the Academic Plaza houses the Academic Building, Lawrence Sullivan ‘Sul’ Ross Statue, and The Century Tree in addition to many other landmarks. The Academic Plaza is home to many important pieces of Texas A&M history. 9 BONFIRE MEMORIAL The annual Bonfire construction was an aggie tradition dating back to 1909. Every year, Aggie students would construct a massive Bonfire before the annual t.u. football game. The Bonfire would then would be put to flames after midnight yell. On November 18th, 1999 Bonfire collapsed at 2:42 am, killing 12 Aggies, and injuring 27 others. This collapse marked a time of tragedy for the town of College Station. Students, staff, and community members remembered what it meant to be united under the aggie spirit as they came together to support one another in this time of loss. Five years later, the Bonfire Memorial was built in the exact location of the 1999 Bonfire collapse. It serves not only as a reminder of the tradition and history of Texas A&M, but as a homage to those who lost their lives, and to all of those impacted by the tragedy. To learn more about the Aggie Bonfire Memorial, you can visit http://www.bonfire.tamu.edu 10 THE ASSOCIATION OF FORMER STUDENTS The Association of Former Students traces its origin to the Ex-Cadets Association formed in 1879 and later to the A&M Alumni Association and Alpha Phi Fraternity. In 1919, a coalition was formed and adopted the name "The Association of Former Students." Since 1879, much has changed in organization and details, but the fundamental objectives of The Association remain the same. The Association is responsible for continuing to keep the highly valued Aggie Network alive, through important engagements like donor recognition, Aggie ring distribution, and many other important programs. To learn more about The Association of Former Students, visit http://www.aggienetwork.com 11 TEXAS A&M LETTERMEN’S ASSOCIATION The Texas A&M Lettermen’s Association was founded in 1974 by 180 men who had a unique vision for the future of athletics at Texas A&M University. As an extension of the old On-Campus T-Association, the Lettermen’s Association was created to provide a means for former students who won Varsity Letters at Texas A&M to gather from time to time and support the University’s athletic programs. While originally limited to male members, women joined the Association in 1983. Today the Association is one of the most visible and well-respected organizations in the University System, with active members spanning nearly 70 class years and representing all intercollegiate sports. Since its inception, the Lettermen’s Association has assumed ever increasing levels of responsibility in providing support for athletics at Texas A&M. The Association founded and presents the Texas A&M Athletic Hall of Fame and Hall of Honor at the Annual Burgess Banquet. It also maintains the Archives of A&M Athletic History with team photos and plaques commemorating All-American, Olympic, and League Championships. The Association is also a leader in recognizing the academic and athletic achievements of current athletes. Today more than ever the Lettermen’s Association is committed to providing support and recognition for our men’s and women’s athletic programs. One of the Lettermen’s Association’s greatest endeavor was fulfilled when the Jackie Sherrill Lettermen’s Club opened with the renovation of Kyle Field. This first-class facility honors the athletes of the past while providing a place for fellowship during football game days and events. With the continued support of a strong and growing membership, and the vision of dedicated officers, the Texas A&M Lettermen’s Association will become an even greater contributor to Texas A&M University.

  • 2007-Fall-Spirit.Pdf
    THE TEXAS A&M FOUNDATION MAGAZINE THE TEXAS A&M FOUNDATION FALL 2007Thankfully, there are many stories of people who support Aggie spirit. Some, like Doug Pitcock ’49, do so with imagination. To address the need for more significant Corps of Cadets scholarships at Texas A&M, Pitcock issued a unique challenge to his fellow Corps supporters. Their response was nothing short of remarkable. See page 24 for the full story. PRESIDENT’S LETTER Nothing endures but change Take a deep breath. You can feel it in the air. The 2007 fall semester is underway and the Texas A&M campus is abuzz with more than 46,000 Aggies. They are eager to experience what will no doubt be some of the most memorable days of their lives. The familiar heat and humidity of summer lingers on in the Brazos Valley, but there’s hope that cooler days will soon arrive. From the second floor of the Jon L. Hagler Center I can watch our football team practice, and in the darker hours I’ve seen the lights on at Kyle Field as the athletic department prepares for an onslaught of fans. We’re all driving about 10 miles per hour slower than we did a few weeks ago—zigzagging to avoid students, faculty and their hundreds of bicycles and cars. I still swell up with pride (and maybe a little relief) when I see the Corps of Cadets on their daily outfit runs through Spence Park, and the sight of all the new fish trying to navigate this immense campus is always worth a chuckle.
