I think it is what Fish Camp has become that is disappointing.
Fish Camp was originally supposed to be a way to help fish transition. It was fun reason to get a away for a few days, learn about A&M and its traditions, and make some friends. It was ALL meant to help the fish transition and provide support as they found their own way during their first year. I truly think that some counselors still take this to heart.
That said, somewhere becoming a FC counselor became trendy, and more people became counselors because it was cool. In recent years I have known current students who went to FC and felt that the counselors were more pre-occupied with each other than they were the freshman!
I didn't know that they wear neon colored shirts to "stand out." The only thing my FC did to stand out was we each made overalls... hot as hell, but a lot of fun. Do students even wear overalls anymore?
