7. What is an AgTag and how do I get one?
An AgTag is a designation which we apply to a poster’s profile if they are a current or Former Student. The
symbol shows up beneath a user’s name in any post which they may make on the forums.
AgTags are verified through The Association of Former Students and can be added to your account via our AgTag Verification page.
8. What is an Aggie Spirit tag and how do I get one?
Our "Aggie Spirit" tag,
, is actually much more difficult to obtain than an Ag tag. Those who have this designation have close ties to A&M (parents of students, wives/husbands, etc.) who are Aggies in every way except for their actual attendance at A&M. It is considered a real honor to obtain one and is reserved for those that are more than just fans of A&M. It is not awarded easily.
If you would like to be considered for this designation, please send us an email with some information about yourself and your family which you consider is an indication of the Aggie Spirit you possess. Your email should be detailed as possible. Please also include your full name, address and phone number, which university (if any) you attended and your user name.
All information for “Aggie Spirit” tags should be sent to dolores@texags.com.
