An "Aggie" is defined as a student whom attends or attended an agricultural school or college.  This is why the North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University adopted the nickname "Aggies" when the school was founded in 1891.

The mascot for NC A&T SU is a bulldog.  The bulldog is referred to as "Aggie" not to confuse those who cannot grasp the concept of the bulldog representing students that attend this agricultural college.

The school carries it's fine legacy, heritage, and pride in the chant and slogan, "Aggie Pride," which sparks fear and anticipation in all those that dare to challenge an A&T Aggie. 

AGGIE PRIDE!  AGGIE PRIDE! AGGIE PRIDE!!!!
