Who we are

Welcome to the Hidalgo-Starr County A&M Club for Former Students! We are a proud network of Former Students dedicated to upholding the traditions, values, and spirit of Texas A&M University. Our mission is to connect local former students, support current and future Aggies, and give back through service, scholarships, and fellowship. Whether it’s through Muster, game-watch parties, community events, or simply sharing the Aggie Spirit, we’re here to keep the Aggie family strong—no matter how far we are from College Station. Gig ’em!

Meet the Team

  • Samantha K. Casas '12

    PRESIDENT

    Howdy, I'm Samantha Casas! I graduated from Texas A&M University in 2012 with an Entomology degree. I continued my education and received my Masters in Biology from UTRGV in 2018. I am currently an insurance agent alongside my family at Access Insurance Agency and the COO of DRH Cattle Co., where we specialize in youth rodeo production. Whether I’m helping families with their insurance needs or organizing events that celebrate the western way of life, I’m passionate about hard work, community, and doing things with purpose

  • Guillermo Barthel '13

    VICE PRESIDENT

  • Lorissa McDonald '20

    SECRETARY

  • Belinda Flores '99

    TREASURER

    Howdy, Belinda here! I'm a proud member of the Class of '99, an electrical engineering grad who somehow wandered into accounting and never looked back. By day I'm a self-employed CPA, and by night I'm your treasurer. Off the clock, you'll probably find me reading past my bedtime, knitting socks, or watching Aggie football.

    Like you, my time at Texas A&M remains a significant part of my journey - full of lessons, friendships, and a spirit that endures and can "can ne’er be told".

  • Grace Alanis '24

    CONTENT PRODUCER

    Howdy, I’m Grace Alanis! I graduated in 2024 with a major in Visualization and a minor in Film Studies. I enjoy going to the movies and spending time with family. I’m currently a Communications Associate for Camp AOS.
