FAST '19
Freshmen Aggies Spreading Tradition
Welcome to the Greatest FLO on Earth!
What is FAST?
Freshmen Aggies Spreading Tradition (FAST) is organized to establish an outstanding group of 54 freshmen and 19 staff members who seek to develop their leadership and social skills, as well as serving their community. FAST is large enough to make an impact on campus but small enough as to achieve amazing friendships that are unlike anywhere else. It is our goal to develop leadership among freshmen through teamwork, communication, planning, delegation, and responsibility while placing an emphasis on Aggie Traditions and the Aggie Spirit.
