DCAM Book Club met in May for a discussion of the fifth book of the year: The Girls Who Went Away by Virginia Evans.

Join us Wednesday, June 24th (Central Market Preston/Royal) at 7pm when our book will be: Good Before Goodbye by Harlan Coben. A full list of books for the new year can be found on the DCAM website. The book club is a social branch of DCAM.

Ring of Honor Moms is for those of us who no longer have a student attending A&M but wish to remain a member of the Club, keep up with Aggie activities, and continue to visit with the friends we made through our years in DCAM.

There are no officers or extra dues. Ring of Honor Moms meet quarterly to share a meal, laugh, and socialize. Our paths may not have crossed at the same time, but we still have something in common: we put students through Texas A&M, we are proud of them, and we still support Aggies!

To be a Ring of Honor Mom, your Aggie must have graduated and you must be a current paid Ring of Honor member of DCAM Club. For more information, email DCAMRingofHonor@aggiemoms.org

We have a few more openings for our 2026-2027 DCAM Board and we're thrilled to expand our sisterhood with YOU!

ALL volunteers are welcome - so feel free to share any strengths or special interests you have because we will find a spot for you! A few of the openings involve party planning, crafting, fundraising, and promotions - all to support each other and our Aggies. If none of these pique your interest, we'll create something that does! The best part is: all positions include a village of moms to help and new friendships to make so don't be shy, let us get to know you!

Thanks and Gig ‘em DCAM!

Federation Information

Federation Emblem

Any event sponsored through The Federation of Texas A&M University Mothers' Club will have this emblem beside the listing. The Federation is the umbrella group over all the individual clubs. These events are open to members of all the different Aggie Moms' Clubs.

The Federation and each individual Aggie Moms’ Club, from the largest with over 300 members to the smallest with only 5 members, share a common goal: To band together to do whatever is necessary to benefit the students at Texas A&M University. Each of the mothers also benefits in the process by sharing a camaraderie that cannot be found elsewhere. An Aggie Moms’ Club meeting is a nurturing place to share the successes and setbacks of a child’s college career with others who have had the same experiences.

In addition to awarding scholarships to individual students, A&M Mothers’ Clubs serve Texas A&M University by financially supporting campus organizations. The Aggie Band, the Corps of Cadets, the Endowment Fund for Sterling C. Evans Library, Fish, Transfer and S.A.L.T. Camps, Peer Orientation Conferences, CARPOOL, and over 1000 other Student Organizations receive financial support each year from Aggie Moms’ Clubs.
