Supposedly, it's to generate more noise. You're not supposed to bend completely over...more like a 30-45 degree angle.

Supposed to help you project your voice more loudly, according to legend. It's also a signal to the rest of the students behind you that a yell is beginning.

Make it more accessible from the rear.

You could say that about the majority of aggie traditions, tbh

FWIW, it is true. According to my scientific research, women do get louder when they bend over.

I don't hate the Aggies. The yell leaders are kind of weird. But it is what it is.

Why does any man bend over in front of another man who's not his doctor?

Vepp had the correct answer, but I acknowledge it's another weird thing that sets Aggies apart that can never be fully explained.
