Integrity Award


“An Aggie does not lie, cheat or steal. Nor tolerate those who do.” Any Aggie would recognize this as the Aggie code of honor, to which students strive to live during and after their time at Texas A&M.  Any Aggie would also know that such a high moral standing can often be compromised and it is tempting to stray from it in favor of an easier path.

The Integrity Award honors a chapter who did not stray, even if the path they chose instead was more difficult—this group of Aggies could have taken the easy path but instead upheld the Aggie Code of Honor with respect. This chapter is honored as a role model for upholding the high ethical standard which Texas A&M expects of all its students.
