You noticed wrong. Currently, the figure is around 40%, though many of them graduate late because their military science credits don't count towards their degrees (example: I graduated with 168 hours and 135 applies to my degree; I never changed majors)

I think he was referring to the members with superiority complexes - that fewer of them go on to serve that others.

Regardless, as I said above - it's a figure he pulled out based on his limited experiences to prove his point. Until a formal study proves that the majority of corps members with a superiority complex do not later serve, it should be ignored.

I had roommates who were fraternity members. The worst they had to do was steal crap or eat flour or drink all night. My parents were both into the Greek scene. Dad pushed me to join a frat hard and said "Don't worry about hazing, you'll just have to drink a lot and sing embarrassing songs about having sex with ugly girls"

That's really not hazing. I'm sure the hardcore frats in the northeast, or wherever they have power, do some real hazing, but the axe handle incident happened in 2002.

That is not an ancient relic from the nineteenth century.

And I said "I've noticed". Meaning out of the 40 or so idiot corps members I've known who subscribed to the "corpsaggies are best Aggies" theory, I know that no more than 2 or 3 had plans to join the military. That's a pretty large enough initial sample to warrant further research.

But I'm lazy and not going to.

Really, you don't have to take your hat off. You don't have to stand. You don't have to hiss. You don't have to hump it. You don't have to dunk your ring. You don't even have to get a ring at all...

But some Aggies enjoy our traditions. However old or new they may be. It doesnt really matter if they started in 1900 or 2000. If people want to uncover with the corps, great. Let them. If they don't. Let them. Who cares?

Well said!

I didn't mean that literally. I meant it as something that we rarely heard anything about during my tenure and it could have just as well last occurred 100 years ago.

Thanks BQ. Gig'em! BTHO SMU...

More people are starting to report it. I'd be willing to bet even money that the overwhelming majority of hazing incidents have gone unreported.

Cue the guy talking smack about "millennials" and helicopter moms.

In frats?

No need to talk about petulant children who bemoan about the corps.

boxerdemon aren't you the guy who bragged in another thread about playing TE for your high school football team?

Facetiously.

In hindsight, I should have known that the average Texags poster jumps to immediate conclusions instead of thinking "hey, wait, this moron can't be serious".

I have since learned from my previous mistakes and have endeavored to make my postings, as few as they are, as clear and concise as possible. Which sometimes leads to sudden outbursts of "*******it you people drive me insane and you're completely missing the stupid point".

Wait wait wait...Was this before or after you posted in this thread about getting scholarships because you're smart?

drkevin ftmfw. Now there is a classy Ag.

Around 3/4s of my tuition was paid through schollies, so...yeah, I'm smart or at least I was at one point. I chose A&M over Rice because "wow, I feel like I fit in here". I was being a smartass there but I do not apologize for it.

Still, little did I know that I would be shunned and told to take Highway 6 back south, despite having already graduated, for being irked by a minority of a minority of students.

Who says millennials deserve respect.

The only time I heard anyone yell "UNCOVVVVVVAR!" at midnight yell was when some jackass wasn't taking off his hat during the Spirit and the War Hymn. I didn't hear it at all before the yells.

Respect is earned, not given.

But I'm off.

That reminds me of the way I remember some people saying it in a jokingly-obnoxious manner. They were more or less being goofballs and didn't take themselves too seriously.

I think the real issue is those who think it's a matter of life and death and are aggressively rude about it.

Drunk dumb ass beside me yelled it the entire night.

and did you

I couldn't uncover but I probably wouldn't have to spite him

Uncover! If you don't like being reminded don't wear a hat at all

Why are people making such a big deal of it? Are they making a statement or trying to be cool? Just take your hats off. You can't do that for five seconds?

These threads should just not exist...

I choose not to uncover...and if you think you can make me, just try it! Uncover yellers suck!

People should mess with these jackasses like me and my friends used to. Wear 2-3 hats, take one off and have one on underneath it. That was a funny one. Or one of my friends would wear one and I would just berate him like no other while he acted like he was crying.

I wore a hat, people yelled uncover, it didn't bother me. It was never an issue. If one of them had tried to take it off, it would have been an issue, but it never happened.

My opinion on hats and uncovering is the same as George Carlin's.

Language warning NSFW, Staff if this is too offensive take it down and be easy with the ban. lol

Every tradition developed after my father/grandfather/last bowel movement graduated from here is New Army and retarded and I refuse to participate.

/retards

Now, I don't wear hats ever (just not my thing since I quite little league a long time ago), but if someone yells "uncover" near me, I just might throw them over the edge of Kyle Field. Because the sooner this dies, the better.

This thread has inspired me to wear a hat today (I normally wouldn't) just to stay 'covered' through the yells.

I'll be in the student section (237 row 15).. BRING THE 'UNCOVER' HATE IF YOU DARE!!

Also, IT'S MUTHA FUDGING GAME-DAY!!

Glad to see someone retort "yeah, well make me!!" Take off your damn hat 2%er.

I was there from 2004-2008....it seemed that yelling at random other people to uncover was the tradition...not actually uncovering.

Thank you StacyReeves

Gig'em and God Bless
