I am having an arguement with my boyfriend. I know for a fact that Texas A&M does not have cheerleaders, they have male Yell leaders. I need help trying to explain why they have Yell Leaders and not cheerleaders and what the difference is. Thanks

The majority of things that occur at A&M are based on tradition.
The tradition is that A&M was an all male school until the late '60s time frame. So there weren't any females to be cheerleaders. The Yell Leaders lead the cheers. The Yell Leaders are also elected by the student body. To date, no female has been elected at the main campus, but I believe that A&M at Galveston may have elected a female yell leader.
The tradition continues!

Tradition...even Gov. Rick Perry is a former yell leader at A&M...early on it was a military school, so no females were there to cheer, and that has stuck untill today......but it fits right in with the 12th man concept......the Aggie experience at Kyle Field is like NO other!!!
