Did you know?
Who is Reveille? Reveille is the official mascot of Texas A&M University. Students adopted the first Reveille, a mixed-breed dog, in 1931. To thank Texas A&M for its assistance during World War II, the US Army designated Reveille a Cadet General (5 diamonds), the highest ranking member of the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets.
Eight years after the death of the first Reveille, a graduate of the university donated a Shetland Sheepdog to be the second official Aggie mascot, Reveille II. The third Reveille was the first to be a purebred American Collie; all subsequent mascots have belonged to this breed. Reveille IV, V, and VI, died in 1989, 1999, and 2003 respectively. Reveille VII has retired and is living in Wellborn, Texas. The current mascot, Reveille VIII, has served since August 2008. All Reveilles to date have been female.
Upon her death, Reveille is buried in a special cemetery located outside the north end of Kyle Field. She is placed facing the south end zone and the scoreboard. After the addition to Kyle Field was built at the north end blocking the view of the scoreboard, a small scoreboard was placed outside the stadium, named the Reveille Scoreboard, so the tradition could live on.
Reveille is the most revered dog on campus. Company E-2 has the privilege of taking care of Reveille. If she is sleeping on a cadet's bed, that cadet must sleep on the floor. Cadets address Reveille as "Miss Rev, m'am." If she is in class and barks while the professor is teaching, the class is to be immediately dismissed. Reveille is a highly cherished mascot and receives only the best.
