Fish Aides
Fish Aides exists to develop and empower leaders of excellence.
What is Fish Aides?
Fish Aides is the freshman leadership organization within Texas A&M University’s Student Government Association. Fish Aides exists to develop and empower leaders of excellence. We believe this is accomplished by focusing on the cultivation of integrity, confidence, community and purpose. We also value service as an important component in a leader, so we strive to give freshmen opportunities to serve the needs of those around them. Fish Aides strives to create an environment for freshmen to grow and learn from one another, from experiences in SGA, and from different leaders of all ages and walks of life. These experiences equip Fish Aides for leadership in the future. Fish Aides is a community that seeks to empower not only its own members but every individual its members encounter through encouragement, enthusiasm, and service.
