Drop the creepy milkman thing and life for you would be so much better. I’m honestly trying to help. They accomplish nothing except making you look bad. It’s weird, it’s gay, find a new tradition.
Why does the brain trust on tRant associate milken with homosexuality? Is that what your mom's told your dad's when the milk man came calling each week?
We aren't ditching Yell Leaders for tumbling teams just to fit in with the Chad's of the SEC.
Next you clowns will insist everyone wear a $40 t-shirt with a whale on it.

UNG used to require all male students be a part of the Corps, with the exception of students that lived at home and commuted. This has since changed. Several years ago three high school buddies of mine were living in an apartment near campus and were "commuters". Someone turned them in to the campus staff and they then had the choice to either enter the Corps or move out and drive from home.

Even when I went to El Cid and it was all male, we were smart enough to bring in girl cheerleaders for football and basketball games...

Do they have any traditions that do not involve UT? Good lord this is bad. I mean Auburn has a ton of traditions and how many of them revolve around UA? Tennessee has a ton and none involving UA. Georgia has a ton none involving UF.

The answer to that is a sad no. Pretty embarrassing isn't it. Now imagine being followed around by your little brother who is telling you every year how he will "get you next year" while you are trying to talk to your girlfriend on the phone. That's what it is like being around Aggy everyday.

I don't know. Traveling the steam tunnels was pretty weird when I went there but I did it anyway.

Look kid, we got the prize out of Texas. We have zero reason to keep Aggie now. Don’t tell us what you “will” or “won’t” do.
You’ll do what you’re told or you’ll get out of the Longhorn’s conference, again. It’s that simple.

One question that comes up while considering ROTC concerns the difference between “regular” ROTC at a civilian college vs. Corps of Cadets programs at certain colleges. They both offer routes to the military and help with college tuition, but they accomplish this differently.
The Corps of Cadets is a program offered at six colleges known as senior military colleges (SMCs). At some schools, the student population is 100-percent Corps, while at others, the Corps is part of a larger student body.
Schools offering Corps of Cadets programs include:
Virginia Military Institute (VMI): State military college and 100-percent Corps
The Citadel: State-supported, and 100 percent of undergrads are Corps
Virginia Tech and Texas A&M: Public universities hosting a Corps program as part of a larger civilian university
University of North Georgia: State military college; 100-percent Corps and 100-percent Army
Norwich University: Private military college that has a Corps of Cadets and civilian student population
SMC Corps grads are guaranteed an active duty commission. However, choosing to commission is not mandatory. If a cadet chooses to contract for commission and receives a scholarship, the cadet is obligated to serve active duty. On the other hand, if a cadet chooses not to contract, they will have no military obligation after graduating.
For instance, at Texas A&M, usually 40-45 percent of cadets pursue a commission in either the Army, Air Force, Navy, or Marine Corps.
Conversely, students in ROTC programs at non-SMC civilian schools sign a contract before their final two years of college to commit to serving upon graduation.
At non-SMC schools, ROTC is a slate of courses and activities taken in addition to the regular college courses. This leads to another difference between ROTC and Corps of Cadets programs: the lifestyle.
In an ROTC program, uniforms are worn two or three times a week depending on ROTC activities. In the Corps programs, a uniform is worn every day on campus and all week both on and off campus at some SMCs (including football games).
Physical training differs as well. At most ROTC programs, it's once or twice a week versus every day at a Corps program. The same goes for drills and formation.
ROTC programs will also offer more freedom and less structure. Students are free to room and socialize with non-ROTC students in non-ROTC dorms or floors, choose their own class schedule, and come and go on and off campus at any hour. It's a typical college experience, except with ROTC classes and activities a few times a week and some weekends (this varies by detachment). Many ROTC students at non-SMCs find time for ROTC, extra classes, school sports or clubs, Greek life, a part-time job, pizza off campus at midnight, and sleeping in.
Meanwhile, Corps students might expect to find a daily schedule like that at Texas A&M.
0600: Formation and exercise
0700 - 0720: Chow
0730 - 1830: Academics
1630 - 1830: Training
1800: Evening formation
1830 - 1900: Evening chow
1930 - 2230: Evening study
2230: Room study and lights out
One lifestyle is not better or worse than the other; they're just different. And upon commissioning, it won't matter which program was chosen.

Can someone explain what is going on, here? I have a clear idea but want it explained by an ag.
This has to be embarrassing as hell for these guys. They were getting hazed on live tv and the web has now perpetuated it.

We do all sorts of things with our dicks and call it tradition. It's disgusting, I know, but it sure is fun. Just ask the sheep.

Flight of the Great Pumpkin
In 1973 or therabouts, a certain outfit in the regiment, one C-2, filled a pumpkin with some of the most vile items imaginable (Deat cats, feces, urine, and other assorted nasty items), and tossed said pumpkin into the band dorm making an awful mess. Ever since then, they try and get this nasty pumkin into the band dorm on Holloween each year. The Aggie Band Freshman defend the dorm from the attackers made up of C-2 upperclassmen. My freshman year there was the main pumpkin that came straight up the quad while (by the account of actual C2 upperclassmen) non C2 opportunists tried to sneak a vile pumpkin through the side door by approching from the tunnel by the E.V. Adams Band Hall. They failed, but it was a close run thing. Watch the actual main "real" C2 pumpkin get doused by 100 BQ fish.
And they're proud
