This is the official website for the Aggie Grotto! Our mission is to promote interest in and to advance in any and all ways the study and science of speleology, and to promote fellowship among those interested therein.

If you’re interested in speleology, conservation, and ecology check out our partner- the Aggie Speleological Society! Their meetings are every Thursday night at 8:00 PM in HEB 203; they will discuss cave-related topics and direct you to our trips!

We accept TAMU and Blinn students of all majors, activity levels, and experience levels! Even community members are welcome. Absolutely NO EXPERIENCE with the outdoors is required! Many members have no experience with caving before joining the Grotto. We will provide all of the information you need to begin your underground career.

Who are we?

The Aggie Speleological Society is a recognized on-campus organization of Texas A&M University. We are an organization dedicated to educating students and members of our community about cave ecosystems and exploration. We often have guest speakers at our weekly meetings, hold socials, and volunteer in the Bryan-College Station community.

The Aggie Grotto goes out around the great state of Texas to explore the vast karst systems and meet with fellow cavers. We participate not only in recreational trips but also have opportunities to broaden your skills with a variety of project caving, including but not limited to biological surveys, cartography, digging, rigging, rescue, restoration, and survey.

Where are we?

The Aggie Speleological Society meets every Thursday at 8:00 PM in HEB 203 (Haynes Engineering Building). If you have a pass, you can park in Lot 50. Several members like to get together afterward to hang out, so stick around after the meeting and join our GroupMe!

What’s the cost?

Dues are $30 for the semester, $45 for the year. This allows you access to our Grotto’s equipment when we go caving such as helmets.
