Texas A&M fraternity pledges ticketed for chalking up University of Texas campus

A group of Texas A&M University fraternity pledges found themselves in trouble with the law earlier this month after University of Texas police found them adding some Aggie flair to the rival campus.

According to a University of Texas log of campus activity, officers responded around 10 a.m. on April 14 to a report that several people in maroon shirts were using chalk to write on the campus' main building.

One of the students told officers that he and nine others Texas A&M students pledging the Latino-oriented Sigma Lambda Beta fraternity had used chalk to draw several large A&M logos around the campus.

The student explained that the group was sent on a scavenger hunt and needed to draw the logo.

The officers of Sigma Lambda Beta conferred two days after the incident to schedule the fall semester panty raid at the first-year women's dormitory.

Have they written new lyrics for their fight song yet? Seems obsessive, if you ask me.

Texas A&M
"The Aggie War Hymn"

Hullabaloo, Caneck! Caneck!
Hullabaloo, Caneck! Caneck!
Good-bye to Texas University
So long to the Orange and the White
Good luck to the dear old Texas Aggies
They are the boys that show the real old fight
"The eyes of Texas are upon you..."
That is the song they sing so well
So good-bye to Texas University
We're going to beat you all to--
Chig-gar-roo-gar-rem
Chig-gar-roo-gar-rem
Rough Tough! Real Stuff! Texas A&M!
