Residential Housing Association

RHA – Leadership Section

Get Involved

Founded in August 1972 through the Civilian Student Council, the Residential Housing Association (RHA)—formerly the Residence Hall Association—serves as the official governing body for more than 12,000 on-campus residents at Texas A&M University–College Station. For over fifty years, RHA has advanced student leadership, supported the development of vibrant residential communities, and upheld the enduring traditions of Aggieland.

With a legacy grounded in service and continuous improvement, the Residential Housing Association remains committed to enhancing the residential experience through structured advocacy, impactful programming, and meaningful leadership development. RHA continues to advance initiatives that support student success and uphold the values of Texas A&M University. We invite you to get involved and help shape the future of the on-campus Aggie community.
