Well total student enrollment is 65,000+. Total corp members about 2500 or so.



Really? That low?

Heck the Citadel has about 2,300 cadets. But the total enrollment is only about 3,500. The additional 1,000 student are in the evening college as graduate students or online enrollment.

The Cadet Corps made up less than 5% of the student body when I was a student. That was when it was only 44,000.

Yes and it is surprising to most folks that don't actually visit Texas A&M or go to a game in person. ESPN, CBS, etc.... show the corps of cadets on the sideline, in the stands, and of course the band almost nonstop during televised games. It certainly looks like that is the majority of the people on campus if you go by TV. Much much different in reality.
