History
In 1965, membership in the Corps of Cadets became voluntary for students at Texas A&M. The leadership of the Corps had always taken the lead in directing the construction of Bonfire, but they held no authority over the "non-regs", or civilian students. A separate Bonfire leadership structure was instituted. The new leaders were designated with colored hard hats, or pots, with the overall leaders known as redpots.
