For all those that missed it, last Wednesday night was our Cafe Sabor night. It was certainly a fun filled evening with great food in a fun atmosphere. There was even karaoke. Those who came had the option of sweet pork, shredded chicken, or shredded beef burritos - man were they good! The chips and salsa were amazing as well. As the evening went on, between the karaoke, there were some raffle drawings and prizes given away.

Happy Halloween Aggies!!

Homecoming True Aggie Night!

On the night of the 24th, after the Homecoming Dance, hundreds of Aggies gathered around the "A" to take part in the 90 year old tradition of becoming a True Aggie. Athletics Director Scott Barnes and his wife were the celebrity couple. The A on Old Main was lit blue. Also, there was an A on the mountain side lit up.

Membership Luau and True Aggie Night

On October 7th, we had a Luau at the Alumni House. We had Hawaiian Haystacks for dinner and then watched 50 First Dates. There were even live fish in the centerpieces! It was a night of food and fun, and if you didn't come, you sure missed out. Thanks to all those who helped make this activity possible.

Last night, October 14th, was True Aggie Night. We had quite the crowd and several couples climbed upon the "A" and under the light of the moon and the Old Main A lit Blue, kissed and became True Aggies. It was a little cold but still a blast. Thanks to all who braved the cold to help out or to participate.

Don't forget, next week is Homecoming Week. On our Newsletter page: (http://www.usu.edu/saa/newsletter/index.cfm) there is a link to the latest Newsletter and on the back page is a schedule of all that will be going on next week.

Also, for True Aggie Night, next Friday the 24th, we will be breaking the school record of more than 2,000 people kissing at midnight. So we will need EVERYONE there to participate and help break the record. Registration will begin at 10:30 so we can keep track of how many people are there kissing. So don't be late because we will all be kissing at Midnight!

Below are some pictures from the luau:

First True Aggie Night!

Hey Fellow Aggies!!

Sorry it has taken me a bit to get these pictures posted here.

If you didn't go to the first True Aggie Night, you MISSED OUT!! We had quite the crowd; it started kinda slow but exploded to a huge number of people! Thanks to all who came and also to those who helped!

Our "celebrity" couple that started us off at Midnight was Dan and Heather Pelfrey, recently married. Even our Traditions VP, Megan Darrington became a True Aggie!

Whether you were at this one or missed out, be sure to be there next month!! At Homecoming we are going to break the school record of the number of people who become True Aggies, but we need everyone's help to do that, so BE THERE!!

Membership Opening BBQ

Hey Student Alumni!!

This last Wednesday night was our opening BBQ and if you couldn't make it, you missed out on a PARTY!! The whole night was Western themed including a DJ playing country music all night. Throughout the night there was country swing dancing, roping, horseshoes, and barrel racing. Plus there was some very delicious bbq chicken or pork sandwiches and mashed potatoes, as well as snow cones! Thanks to all those who made the BBQ possible and thanks to all those who came and made it awesome!

We look forward to seeing everyone at our next event: True Aggie Night! It is going to be Monday the 15th at Midnight, don't be late!

ASAP National Networking Convention

Hey there fellow Aggies and members of Student Alumni! This weekend, part of the Exec Board went to the ASAP National Networking Convention, held in downtown Salt Lake City at the Hilton. We had a blast and met lots of people from allover the United States - there were lots of schools from the Mid-West and back East. We got lots of great ideas of how we can better our Student Alumni and lots of new ideas we can incorporate into our organization. There were several great keynote speakers: Nadine Wimmer from KSL 5 Eyewitness News, Michael Dunn - was attacked by a grizzly bear 14 years ago in Grand Teton National Park, and Jill Stevens - Miss Utah 2007 and served in Afghanistan. We also received an award for Outstanding External Program for A-Day! We look forward to incorporating what we learned to what we already have in our organization as well as adding new things to Student Alumni!

Only 3 more weeks until school starts again!

Summer!!!
