I go to TX A&M in College Station, TX. A&M is built on its tradtions. Different things include the Corps of Cadets, Silver Taps (which is held for the passing of our students), Football is HUGE here, and people actually have mixed views on Greek Life. Also, when you walk by a person on campus, we say Howdy. Just another tradtion. We also have wildcats, which are yelled at football games, Midnight Yell, and events, and different wildcats denote different Classyears - Fish, Soph, Jr, or Sr. Midnight Yell is held on the Friday night before a home football game, at of course midnight. Everyone fills the stadium, and our yell leaders (all male - we don't have cheerleaders) pump up the home crowd to cheer on the football team the next day. Then, when it is over, all the lights go out, and we mug down, or make out with our date. Everyone does it! IF you are single, you hold up a lighter in hopes another single person will mug down with them - never happens.

Well that is all I have for now. Hope this helps some!
i can only imagine what it means to "mug down" with somebody.

that sounds really interesting. being a part of alpha phi omega, we also lean towards service, but we love to have fun and socialize more than the social frats. thanks for sharing the info, it sounds really interesting. i am from texas and i know a lot of people that went to Texas A&M. i just thought that new orleans would be a bit more fun for me.

i hate to keep asking questions, but what is a campus crawl?
