A&M revolves around traditions. My favorite, Silver Taps, honoring a fallen aggie from the previous month. Best thing about this tradition is that you stand as a family to honor one of your fellow aggies.We stand in front of the Academic Building and watch the fallen aggie's family walk in infront of Sully,listen to Ross Volunteer Firing Squad march in and fire three rifle volleys, listen to taps once to the North, once to the South, and once to the West but never to the east because the sun will never rise on that aggie again.

Traditions are what the school is best known for. Aggies have a unique way of passing on the traditions.

Its school spirit and alumni.

Travis

My school is best known for its vast and insane amount of traditions. Founded in 1876, as a military school, we have a HUGE amount of traditions. From having "yell leaders" instead of cheerleaders, to having a border collie as a mascot. From having midnight yell practice, to Muster, a day where we honor fallen Aggies, Texas A&M has traditions. Honestly, we get made fun of for them a lot. But i believe that if anyone embraces them, they will soon see the true Spirit of Aggieland, and fall in love with this great Texas school, like I have.

Texas A&M is mostly known for being a traditional, conservative and school-spirited institution. As a former military school, many Aggie traditions reflect the former military values once prominent on campus. As opposed to its fierce rival, the University of Texas at Austin, Texas A&M is staunchly conversative and is well-known for it because of this contrast in Texas. With an active alumni network, supportive student body and prospective students, A&M is very school-spirited. Its successes in athleticism and academics along with its vast history allows for a strong sentiment of school-spirit.
