History and Tradition

This presentation is often the longest but can be from 10 minutes to an hour based upon your needs. It details many of the unique traditions and history at Texas A&M. Bonfire was considered by many to be the “centerpole” of other Aggie traditions because it so deeply connected and enriched other traditions at A&M. Howdy, Replant, Yells, the 12th Man, and many more were an active part of Bonfire.
