COLLEGE STATION, Texas — For more than four decades, Texas A&M’s Greek community has helped shape campus culture through leadership, service, and tradition. In 2024, the university commemorated the 40th anniversary of Greek Life with a yearlong celebration, culminating in a vibrant community that continues to grow, adapt and lead.
From its roots in 1983 with just a few chartered organizations to nearly 60 recognized chapters today, Greek Life has become a cornerstone of student engagement at Texas A&M. Through traditions, philanthropy, and student-led leadership, generations of Aggie Greeks have carried forward a legacy of connection, purpose and pride.
Throughout the anniversary year, the university hosted events that reflected the spirit of its Greek community—from step shows and leadership panels to philanthropy events and a Flo Rida concert that brought boundless energy to Reed Arena.
Notably, the Multicultural Greek Council (MGC), one of the oldest multicultural Greek councils in the nation, marked its 25th anniversary. The council’s story has become emblematic of the student-led innovation that defines Texas A&M’s Greek Life. In 2019, MGC launched the MGC Roadmap, a strategic plan focused on academic success, visibility, and internal unity. Its members continue to lead with intention and impact.
Similarly, the Xi Psi Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. celebrated 40 years of sisterhood and service at Texas A&M. Founded in the early 1980s, Xi Psi was among the university’s earliest Black Greek-letter organizations. Their legacy continues not only inspires but also empowers future generations of students to thrive and lead with purpose.
Throughout the year, Greek Life also deepened its partnerships across campus. In one standout collaboration, student leaders helped organize efforts for the SEC Food Fight, partnering with The 12th Can to raise awareness and donations for food insecurity.
“Partnering with The 12th Can for the SEC Food Fight has been an incredible opportunity for our chapters to unite, serve, and make a meaningful impact on our campus. It’s more than just collecting food—it’s about standing together as a community to help those in need. This partnership with the 12th Can has allows us to live out our fraternal and Aggie values, give back to the community that supports us, and show what Greek unity can really accomplish.” – Krithik Sankar ’26, IFC Vice President of Philanthropy and Service and a member of Delta Tau Delta Fraternity. Several individual chapters also marked milestone anniversaries in 2024, including Chi Omega, Delta Zeta, Zeta Tau Alpha and Alpha Delta Pi.
As the year of celebration comes to a close, Texas A&M Greek Life continues to look ahead. Rooted in tradition and powered by student voices, the next 40 years promise continued growth, meaningful impact, and a community committed to excellence.
