Tips & pointers: BE A MUSTANG! Don't just 'pretend' to be a Mustang. Live & breathe what SMU is all about. Learn all about its history and traditions. Soak it all up. Do you know who Doak Walker was? Do you know who Kyle Rote was? Do you know who Jerry LeVias is? Do you know who Jon Koncak is? Do you know who Jerry Heindenrich was? Do you know who Matty Bell was? What was Mustang Mania? Who were the members of the Pony Express? (I could go on and on with this...!) Learn the words to the SMU Fight Song. Learn where our mascot Peruna got its name. Learn how SMU got the nickname "The Hilltop". Learn the history of the SMU band and how it got it labeled '99 Guys and a Doll' (a long time ago). Don't just say you go to SMU...BE SMU! Attend the football, basketball and soccer games with dedication. Be a LEADER, not a follower. Stay until the very end of the game. Don't leave your seat until after you've sung "Varsity" with the Mustang Band (both at the beginning and end of games). Sing "Varsity" like it's the most beautiful alma mater EVER!...Because we all know it is! In other words, BE A MUSTANG! Give it all you've got...and then some more. Just remember: Being a Mustang isn't easy...but it'll make you a better person in the long run.SMUnick wrote:I'm studying business... the cox school of business is a pretty impressive place. I need to sign up for my classes pretty soon though. I'm going to this mustang corral or whatever in a month or so to meet incoming freshman... You guys have any tips and pointers for me over the next four years at SMU??? (I am from the Bayarea, in a small town called LosAltos, it is about 30 min from SF, 10 min from Sanjose, and 5 min from Stanford)
