The Aggie Yell Leaders are comprised of five students that are elected each year by the student body. They are the official spirit organization of the Texas A & M University and they lead Aggie fans in "yells" during athletic and other university events. Unlike cheerleaders, the Yell Leaders do not perform gymnastic feats, instead they use a variety of hand signals, called "pass backs", to direct and intensify the crowd. They serve as campus ambassadors to A&M and Aggie Mother's Clubs across Texas and the U.S., and regularly make appearances at campus-wide events for current, new, and prospective students, former students, campus administrators, visitors, and dignitaries. First Yell was started in 1999 as a way of welcoming all Aggies, back to campus to begin a new school year. First Yell occurs on the weekend of the first home football game and includes performances from student, local and nationally known entertainers. |
