-FAST is made up of 54 freshmen, 15 counselors, and 4 directors. Our goal is to develop you as leaders through an emphasis in the traditions and spirit that make our university so unique. 

-FAST emphasizes the most important aspects of being an Aggie, which are symbolized by the five stars on the Aggie Ring: Intellectual Aptitude, Emotional Poise, Spiritual Attainment, Integrity of Character, and Physical Development. 

-FAST members will participate in a variety of activities throughout the year such as various retreats, social events with other FLOs, and more!

-There will be dues of $200 for each member, however we offer a variety of financial aid options for those who need one.

-In addition to being on a social committee that will allow you to form some of the closest friendships that you will find in college, you will also be a member of a committee that will head a specific aspect of our organization's structure. These subcommittees are: Camaraderie, Service, Enhancement, Big Give, Traditions and Conference. Each committee will complete duties that keep FAST running, as well as larger monthly activities.
