Howdy,

We are so glad that you are here and interested in the Aggie Men’s Club. Whether you are considering membership, a current candidate, an active, or a former member, I hope that the words that you read here paint a picture of who we are, and what makes this group of young men special.

Founded in 1984, AMC is Texas A&M University’s oldest men’s organization consisting of around 100 active members. The group was founded on the principles of spiritual, emotional, and physical development, rooting itself in service, leadership, christian fellowship, and brotherhood. While our values are crucial to our identity as a group, these words and phrases do not do this organization justice. So, I would like to provide a personal testament about the Aggie Men’s Club, as I believe that it will allow you to better learn “About Us.”

In short, AMC has changed my life. I began college with the mentality of pointing others towards myself, all the while not knowing what to find true meaning in. A friend recommended the Aggie Men’s Club to me, and after attending selections events I was astounded by the fact that older guys were invested in my life, even when I was not an active member yet. It struck me how conversations weren’t about what AMC could do for me, but rather what, through AMC, I could do for others. 

Through this group, I’ve been shown the love of Jesus and have been encouraged to point others toward Him instead of towards myself. I have seen firsthand the unique aspect of men who are one step out of college pouring into guys who had just started their journey. That comradery is what makes AMC truly unique. From interviews with every active member to countless date parties and everything in between, AMC has given me such a fulfilling community. In AMC, I have formed bonds rooted in loyalty and accountability that will last for the rest of my life.

Ask any active, and they’ll recount different ways that this group has changed their lives for the better.

As Aggies, we are called to commit to selfless service. In staying true to this, AMC provides weekly service opportunities to actives benefiting REACH and other local organizations around the Bryan/College Station Area. The REACH Project is one of the most meaningful things we do locally. Through it, we have the opportunity to serve the custodians and essential Aggies who help this campus run. From meal distributions to annual banquets, honoring and serving these individuals is a core part of who we are as a club. 

For our international philanthropy,  AMC supports the Kairos Christian School located in Antigua, Guatemala. Every year we put on Farmers Fest: a country music concert in College Station that directly benefits Kairos. Not only that, but we get the amazing opportunity to send actives on an annual mission trip to Antigua to serve at Kairos and build homes for the less fortunate. Kairos has become a second home for the Aggie Men’s Club, and many actives will tell you that this is “AMC at its very best”.

If any of this appeals to you, I want to personally invite you to join us for our recruitment and selections events. If you have any questions about the Aggie Men’s Club, feel free to email me at president.aggiemensclub@gmail.com

Thanks and Gig ‘Em!
