Softly Call the Muster...
Aggies worldwide are finalizing preparations for Texas A&M's oldest and most revered tradition - Aggie Muster. More than 300 Muster ceremonies are held every year on April 21 throughout Texas, the United States, and around the world. The Association of Former Students AND Dallas A&M Club urge you...just as in the 1923 Texas Aggie, that if there is an Aggie within 100 miles of you, to get together, eat a little, and live over the days you spent at the A&M College of Texas.
Scroll down for details on the 2017 DALLAS AGGIE MUSTER, for which discounted advance purchase tickets are still available via the DAMC website. In addition, this latest Aggie Update newsletter contains information on other upcoming activities and events.
Membership-related gifts are the foundation of our annual fundraising efforts and allow the Dallas A&M Club to award considerable scholarships each year to multiple deserving Dallas-area high school seniors that will be attending Texas A&M, to also occasionally contribute to important endeavors at Texas A&M, and to maintain club-related programs in Dallas County for former students of Texas A&M.
