Why are you here at Texas A&M? How
long have you been here?
Golden Key was founded at Texas A&M University in 1991, and from
that time has begun to work with the local community to make
Bryan/College Station a better place to live for all. Through
our rigorous community service and dedication to all in this
community, we feel as though we help to make the Brazos Valley
stronger as well as promoting unity within our chapter. A strong
community is the key to the area's success. If we cannot help
others, we cannot help ourselves and our community to prosper.
