Requires log in and isn't especially phone friendly since the graphics scroll somewhat nonintuitively.

Ok, please tell us the history of why we're not called 'alumni' then.

Pretty handy for boar piglets. Just saying.
LinkedIn is useful for business contacts and recruiting. Especially for fields with a lot of people in them like engineering, business, etc. I've found it useful.

It has its niche, but it is not a substitute for a good social media channel.

Outside of Texas, the largest concentration of former students is in San Francisco; I assume that means Silicon Valley.

Not really surprising that A&M former students tend to stay home. Good job markets, low cost of living compared to most alternatives. Why wouldn't many people stay in Texas?

Having said that I left the state for 19 of my 35 working yrs to date. It's all about where your best opportunity is imo.

I'd imagine many, especially the older Ags, are not on LinkedIn.

And I call myself an alumni often, especially living outside of the state..

Why is this stupid crap in the zoo?

I am pretty sure I am an Alumni. Why else would I not log into something to present my input.

It's not meant to be a social media channel. If that's what you're using it for, makes sense why you don't like it.

LinkedIn in a wonderful tool. And I'm not a recruiter.

Romans had to first conquer their peninsula before creating and expanding their empire. Similar stats back then, keep moving forward.

Ok, please tell us the history of why we're not called 'alumni' then.
Basically, any hardcore Aggie with an IQ of less than about 90 thinks that we don't call ourselves "alumni".

This is ultimately derived from the saying "Once an Aggie, always an Aggie", from which it follows that there are no "former Aggies".

This implies that former students are still Aggies, regardless of whether they ever graduated. However, it does not imply that former students can't be called "alumni" if they did indeed graduate. One can be an Aggie, a former student, and an alumnus all at the same time.

It's a relatively subtle point that requires an IQ somewhere in the near-average range to understand. I would imagine that this poster was admitted to A&M under lower standards due to pledging to join the Corps.
This is my understanding as well, I was just hoping texag86 would recognize his mistake when he had to type out an explanation.
