FATE – Freshman Aspiring Towards Excellence
About FATE
At TAMU FATE (Freshman Aspiring Towards Excellence), our mission is to help freshmen at Texas A&M University find their place on campus through fun events, meaningful friendships, and opportunities to grow as leaders. We were founded in 2024 to equip freshman with the skills and network to thrive in college and beyond.

FLO Evaluation
FLOs are evaluated yearly based on sevferal factors. Three of these factors are Leadership, Service, and Social. Here is what last year’s members experienced in these areas:
Leadership
Each freshman in FATE will have numerous opportunities to grow their leadership skills, no matter which committee they join. For example, members of the Publicity Committee will create their own designs for social media posts and merchandise.
Service
FATE partners with Dallas Hope Charities. This last year, we held a drive for hygiene and food items in order to make “worthy bags.”
Social
We had many virtual socials, including movie and game nights. There was also a tie-dye in-person social, as well as our end-of-the-year picnic!
