“[…] 'Anything you do twice is a tradition,' 'Don't be a 2 percenter.' You learn⟳ about The Bonfire, Aggie Muster, and Silver Taps. […] Isn't it fascinating to see⟳ how an amazing team-oriented culture in one institution (Texas A&M) can inspire⟳ a fantastic culture in a totally different and separate⟳ organization (Rackspace)?”

“Detractor two percenters diminish momentum. Wet⟳ blankets can put⟳ fires out! True Aggies are all Twelfth Men and learn⟳ the importance of yelling for the team instead of (like⟳ most other schools and some “two percenters”) mainly yelling at them.”

“She’s an Aggie, but she never got into any of the lore there, not even a little bit. She’s a proud “two percenter,” as they call⟳ such people in College Station.”
