FLiP Memory: My favorite FLiP memory over the past two years has definitely been Spring Retreat. Both years this retreat has truly meant so much to me due to the bonds and memories that are created. I always walk away from this retreat feeling so incredibly grateful for this organization and the people within it.
​
Impact: FLiP has truly made my college experience, and I mean every word of that. I have met my best friends and made some of my greatest college memories because of FLiP. Along with that I have seen so much growth within myself, and FLiP has helped shape me into the man I am today. FLiP truly means so much to me and I could not be more grateful for the impact that it has had on my college experience. I am so incredibly blessed to have the opportunity to now lead this organization and welcome FLiP ‘29!

FLiP Memory: My favorite FLiP memory from the past two years has been the visits to College Hills Elementary. Seeing the students recognize you and be excited to see you every other week was so rewarding and fun, and always made me realize how much of an impact we can have on the people around us.
Impact: This organization has brought me my best friends and has influenced me to become a better version of myself in so many ways. I chose to join multiple organizations during my Freshman year but FLiP, and all the people in it, is truly what made A&M feel like home to me.

FLiP Memory: Ski trip is my favorite FLiP memory. I had such an amazing time getting close to everyone, and obviously a great time snowboarding! The trip made it so easy for me to get super involved in the spring semester and is the reason I went out for Staff!
Impact: FLiP has pushed me to grow in so many ways. I have become so much more outgoing and confident. My FLiP experience has also given me a huge network of connections on campus!

FLiP Memory: My favorite FLiP memory was Spring Retreat. I felt like it was so special because we were all best friends by this point in the year, and it was so much fun to hang out and take a break from worrying about school and exam season.
​
Impact: FLiP has truly made me the person I am today. I can completely be myself around this group of people, which is something I didn’t really feel around my high school friends. Having such a strong support system away from home is truly the best thing ever.

FLiP Memory: Spring retreat was one of the most rewarding and impactful things I’ve ever been a part of. It was such a surreal experience that just made me realize how blessed I am to be a part of something like this.
​
Impact: FLiP’s impact is genuinely unexplainable. The way you meet 55 new people in a single night and develop incredible relationships with all of them was just so insane to me. There’s not much like it.

FLiP Memory: My favorite FLiP memory would have to be FLO Bowl! It was such a fun experience getting to be on a team with all my best friends and getting to cheer each other on. The entire day was filled with excitement and I would do it over and over again if I could!!!
​
Impact: FLiP showed me what having a group of best friends can be like in college. I remember always hoping that I would somehow find a group of people that were so close and fun to be around and that's exactly what FLiP is. It has given me a family that I will always be grateful for!

​
Favorite FLiP Memory: My favorite flip memory is Shackathon which is a shack all the freshmen build and then live in for a week right outside of Kyle Field. Rather than going back to the dorm every day I would get out of class and go hang out at shack with everyone and it was so fun. We played spike ball, basketball, and did so many random things during the week but it was so fun being with everyone.
​
FLiP's Impact: FLip allowed me to find my community and helped me create life long bonds with some of the most incredible people I've ever met.

FLiP Memory: My favorite FLiP memory was the last FLiP Friday at the Aggieland Safari. Getting to load up on one bus with all my best friends and spend the day together away from school was such a fun way to end the year.
Impact: FLiP made my freshmen year something that I look back on and just want to relive. No matter how hard classes got or how busy my schedule got, I could always fall back on this org to take my mind off of school. It’s been my whole college experience in the best way possible and I can’t wait to continue that for another year.

FLiP Memory: My favorite FLiP memory was going to the LSU game together and hanging out after. That game was fun in itself but being with FLiP made it 10x better with the environment of all of us together taking up half the section and just enjoying each other so early on in the year!
​
Impact: FLiP has genuinely brought me my greatest friends and memories and made my freshman year the best year of my life. It has taught me that leadership can be fun and meaningful at the same time. FLiP provided me with so many connections not only between FLO’s but so many other organizations which is so amazing to have at such a large school.

FLiP Memory: My favorite FLiP memory is our ski trip when we went to Colorado. I have never seen snow before, so getting to experience it with my favorite people was amazing. Every time I ate it snowboarding my best friends were there to laugh at me, but also to help me keep going. The mountain was so incredible and to be surrounded by people full of so much life enhanced the experience so much more. Getting to spend our evenings and nights together in the house was so much fun, it was the most fun trip I have ever been on.
Impact: Being in FLiP, I have not only grown into a much better person, but the people in this organization will be my best friends for the rest of my life. My heart has never been so full of love, it sounds impossible, and my life has never been so full of happiness. FLiP has been my best experience ever!
