AGGIES to the CORE!
Welcome to The Rudder Association Website. Our Mission is to defend and perpetuate the core values of respect, excellence, leadership, loyalty, integrity, and selfless service at Texas A&M. We provide a voice for Aggies who honor its Values, Traditions and Culture. We are Aggies to the Core!
“It is my firm belief that my dad, James Earl Rudder ’32, would heartily endorse The Rudder Association’s mission. It is critically important that we are aware of threats at our door. Should we fail to be active warriors in protecting our valued traditions, we will lose them.”
