History

Ada Peoples organized the first Texas A&M Mothers' Club in Dallas in 1922, with the same objective that remains today. She was concerned about what she thought of as the "poor" quality of life on this all-male campus, with no entertainment, no culture, and a complete lack of women's influence. The mothers' club idea spread and eight clubs became a federation in 1928, with Mrs. F. L. Thomas as the first Federation President. The Federation Board of today consists of 16 officers and several appointed positions. Those women serve as a coordinating body for 124 clubs and membership of 8000+.
