Society EN ↓ 52 episodes

Toward the end of every Aggie Bonfire season, after almost a year of hard work, fires are lit under "Perimeter Poles" at the corners of Stack on cold Texas nights. Stories about a shared experience can last all night around these Perimeter Fires. Bonfire is described as the greatest leadership laboratory of its kind. That may be a misnomer. It is one of a kind. The experiences it provides and the lessons it teaches have shaped generations, who have in turn left the Woods with the courage and grit to shape their world. Gather round the Perimeter Fires for stories from the "Undying Flame."
