HORNED FROG TRADITION
Tradition runs deep at TCU. It all begins with the Horned Frog. Some say the frog was chosen because the football practice field was overrun with the small, spiny lizards. Other say its feisty attitude simply matched the tough frontier spirit shown by TCU itself. Other school traditions include TCU’s school colors, purple and white. The former represents royalty, the latter a clean game. Got a test? Rub the nose of the Horned Frog sculpture in the center of campus for good luck. Swaying while singing the alma mater is a must. So is learning how to do the horned frog hand sign. (Make a peace sign. Now fold those two fingers.) And new students may not have any idea what Riff Ram Bah Zoo means now, but they’ll soon discover that it’s one of the oldest cheers in the country. 26
