**FOR GRADUATING AGGIES: How to Meet Other Texas Aggie Grads in Your New City!** 📣
Howdy! Moving to a brand-new city after graduating from Texas A&M can feel exciting, but also a little overwhelming. You’ve left College Station, you’re starting your career, and now you’re asking yourself: *“How do I meet other Aggies here?”*
The good news? The Aggie Network is alive and strong wherever you go. Here are some tried-and-true ways to connect with fellow Aggies and build your community in your new city:
—
🔥 **1. Join Your Local A&M Club**
Most major cities in Texas (and beyond) have Aggie Clubs that host game-watching parties, volunteer events, happy hours, and professional networking opportunities. These groups are the fastest way to find Aggie spirit outside of College Station. Search for “[Your City] Texas A&M Club” on Facebook or Google and plug right in.
—
🤝 **2. Tap Into the Aggie Network**
Remember the Aggie Ring isn’t just jewelry—it’s your ticket into the Aggie Network. Don’t be shy about introducing yourself to other Aggies you meet in your workplace, church, gym, or even out in public. Most Aggies light up when they see another Ring, and you’ll instantly have a conversation starter.
—
🍻 **3. Watch the Aggies Play!**
Game days are sacred. Find a local Aggie watch party spot—usually hosted by your city’s A&M Club—and you’ll instantly be surrounded by maroon and white. Yelling “Hullabaloo!” with a room full of strangers makes them feel like family real quick.
—
👔 **4. Use Aggie Networking Tools**
Check out The Association of Former Students website for local events and Aggie resources. You can also use LinkedIn to connect with Aggies in your city—just type “Texas A&M” in the education filter and narrow by location. You’ll be surprised how many Aggies are nearby.
—
💡 **5. Volunteer and Give Back**
Aggies are known for service. Whether it’s Big Event service days, food bank volunteering, or community outreach, you’ll find Aggies leading the charge. Volunteering not only connects you with like-minded people but also helps you feel at home in your new city.
—
🏙️ **6. Explore Aggie-Friendly Social Spots**
Some bars, gyms, or coffee shops in your new city naturally become Aggie hangouts (especially in Texas cities like Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio). Once you find those Aggie “watering holes,” you’ll always have a place to run into fellow grads.
—
🎯 **Final Thought**
Being a new grad in a new city can feel intimidating, but remember—you’re never truly alone. The Aggie family is *everywhere*. Put yourself out there, show up to an event or two, and before long, you’ll have your own maroon crew to call family.
So gig ’em, Aggies—and happy networking in your new city! 👍🏼
