The Aggie Yell Leaders are a group of Texas A&M University students that leads Aggie fans in a series of "yells" during athletic events or other school events. The Yell Leaders are composed of five students (three seniors and two juniors) who are elected annually by popular vote of the student body.
The Yell Leaders use a variety of hand signals, called "pass-backs," to direct and intensify the crowds. One of the most notable former Aggie Yell Leaders is Texas Governor Rick Perry.
Famous quotes containing the words yell and/or leaders:
“It is restful, tragedy, because one knows that there is no more lousy hope left. You know you’re caught, caught at last like a rat with all the world on its back. And the only thing left to do is shout—not moan, or complain, but yell out at the top of your voice whatever it was you had to say. What you’ve never said before. What perhaps you don’t even know till now.”
—Jean Anouilh (1910–1987)
“It is our experience that political leaders do not always mean the opposite of what they say.”
—Abba Eban (b. 1915)
