Yell Leaders

 Although nationally known for their spirit, the Texas Aggies have no cheerleaders. This is because they have no school cheers. Instead, there are a variety of school yells used by the 12th Man team (the student body) in support of the team on the field or court. In the Spring of each year, 5 students (three juniors and two seniors) are elected by the Galveston student body to serve as Campus Yell Leaders.  In College Station, it is actually 3 Seniors and 2 Juniors that serve as the Student Body Yell Leaders.

If the Aggies win a home football game, the Fish carry the Yell Leaders across campus and throw them in the Fish Pond. Then a Yell Practice is held. If, rather than win, the Aggies run out of time or are outscored, everyone stays in Kyle Field to sing The Twelfth Man song.
