Reveille is the mascot of Texas A&M University. The current Reveille, Reveille VI, is a American Collie. The tradition states that the first Reveille was a stray mutt brought back to campus when a car full of Aggies returning from a football game hit her. She was named Reveille when the next morning she barked all during the morning “Reveille”.
A sophomore in E-2 Company of the Corps of Cadets takes care her. He takes her with him everywhere, into class, on dates, and back in the dorm. She is also the highest ranking member of the Corps of Cadets being a five star general. Which means that members of the corps will salute her.
Current tradition states that if Reveille barks during class the professor has to let the class out. This is because Reveille doesn't believe it’s time for class.
