Gig'Em week started in 2000 as the week before the Fall semester starts in Aggieland. Recently renamed to "Howdy Week" for no apparent reason, except to make it sound lame. Fear not, a name change will not make Gig'Em week any less than what it truly has been for the past 17 years, which is a giant week long party!!! Upperclassman of all ages look forward to Gig'Em week as a time to absolutely rage their faces off before real school work sets in. Who are we kidding though, the
first week of school, "syllabus week" is also an
appropriate time to commit such acts of putting school
on the back burner for just a little longer! So get ready freshman you're in for a treat, also please refrain from using the term, "Howdy Week", it simply goes against tradition.
