When those yell leader folk tell stories, why do they lift their leg and grab their arm during keywords?

Take a stroll through the Wikipedia page. It's a hell of a ride.
Corps of Cadets
Looks like the first 3 semesters are mandatory ROTC and then it transitions to optional.
Some highlights:
"Freshman cadets are called "fish". The first year, the "fish year"... Corps freshmen introduce themselves to upperclassmen cadets by a formalized procedure known as "Whipping Out," wherein the fish bends his or her arm at the elbow, slaps it against the side of the torso, grasps the upperclassman's hand, and proceeds to recite the prescribed whip-out dialogue (example below)"
To assist in removing their boots, seniors are allowed to yell "I need a fish!" at which point all available freshmen in the senior's outfit will race—and sometimes fight—to assist.
So glad I didn't seriously consider going to A&M.
Is that some sort of freshman orientation thing to indoctrinate them into the cult?
Why does anyone need to practice yelling for a football game?
A co-workers daughter is a freshman at A&M, her and I have good banter but I don't have it in me to be mean enough to ask her if her daughter is a full fledged cult member yet.
It's for all years and happens before every game. I went with a friend who was dating an A&M student at the time. I just don't understand the need for this cult-like tradition.
I’m disappointed it took so long for someone to mention the mason jars. That’s the first, second, and third thing that pops into my mind whenever someone mentions Tamu.
too bad those threads get deleted. They should be locked and moved to a best-of archive.
This was what I remember from about a decade ago.
The fake ATM army guys would pass a mason jar around and fill it with their little "soldiers" to burn on the giant bonfires.
Such a deranged, ass-backward cult. Do they pass the tainted kool-aid around this week since they lost to App State?
aTm fans do a lot of weird sh!t but that is one of the friendliest road games I've ever attended. We couldn't hardly walk past tailgate without fans offering us to come and have a drink. After the game we went to Dixie Chicken and I don't think I bought a drink all night.
Don’t be fooled, thats just cult recruiting process.
