Desi Aggies

Founded: 2016

Texas A&M University (College Station, TX)

Desi is a term that refers to the South Asian people and culture of the Indian subcontinent and their diaspora... India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. The Desi Aggies' mission is to be a bridge for other South Asian organizations to collaborate, work together, and complement each other to serve the south asian students at Texas A&M. This includes bridging the undergraduate student organizations with the graduate student organizations for the common goal of developing desi community and promoting desi cultural diversity. We also provide a bi monthly inclusive opportunity for any students to meet together over a cup of chai (Time4Chai), develop friendships, network, find community and support, and enjoy desi cultural activities. The purpose of DesiAggies will also be to help those who are new from the South Asian countries to integrate into American culture, Aggieland, the local community of Bryan College Station, and with various other student organizations while enjoying fellowship with students from both similar and different ethnic backgrounds.
