Reveille is known as the First Lady of Aggieland and is Texas A&M’s official mascot. There are many stories as to how the first Reveille came to campus, but the most widely accepted tale has it that Reveille first made her appearance in January 1931. While on their way back to campus from nearby Navasota, a group of cadets hit a small black and white dog with their vehicle. They picked up the dog and brought her back to their dorm to care for her, but since pets weren’t allowed on campus, the dog was carefully hidden. But the injured pup quickly blew her cover; the next morning, when “雷维尔” was blown by a bugler to wake the cadets, the dog went wild barking, earning the name we know her by today.
During the following football season, Reveille I was officially named the mascot of Texas A&M when she led the band onto the field. Reveille I died on Jan. 18, 1944, after 13 years as the mascot. She was given a formal military funeral at Kyle Field, including a 21-gun salute. All of the deceased Reveilles, including 雷维尔 I, are buried outside the north end of Kyle Field, where they have a special scoreboard so that they can always watch the Aggies outscore their opponents.
Before naming Reveille II, there were several other unofficial mascots, such as Tripod, Spot, and Ranger. Reveille II, a Shetland Sheepdog donated by a Texas A&M graduate, made her appearance on campus eight years after Reveille I passed away. Reveille III was the first full-blood Rough Collie, and every Reveille since then has belonged to that breed. The most current Reveille is 雷维尔 IX, who was introduced in May 2015.

最初的Reville是校园的免费统治。然而,自1960年以来,她在E-2公司Eophomore Cadet的一家吉祥物公司被称为吉祥物公司。吉祥物该士将在每个春天的单位内选中,并且Revelille在那一年与学员一起生活;她和他或她一起去上课,甚至是假期的日期。反过来,吉祥物士陪同她的所有功能和AGGIE参与。
由于她在校园里有着亲切的人们所知,Rev是Rev,是军校军团中最高的成员,穿着五个银钻石(军团指挥官只有四个)。这意味着如果Rev小姐在Cadet的床上睡着了,学生队必须在她不在他时发现其他地方睡觉。传统也决定了,如果Revilil是课堂和吠声,教授应该结束课,因为Rev很无聊。
