Fish Aides is a Freshman Leadership Organization within the Student Government Association designed to develop and empower Texas A&M’s leaders of tomorrow by providing them leadership opportunities today. We believe this is accomplished by focusing on the cultivation of purpose, integrity, confidence, community, and service, while providing a positive forum for the development of the leadership and social skills necessary to maximize a freshman’s potential. Fish Aides is a community that seeks to empower not only its own members but also every individual its members encounter through encouragement, enthusiasm, and service. ​Founded in 1979, Fish Aides has progressed into a highly respected, well-known leadership development program and continues to grow each year.
