Amyleigh Jones is a communication senior, but she is better known for being the leader of WagTok, a group consisting of the most devout lovers of the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets.
Rather than study or go to class, these determined boy-crazy women frequent the Starbucks on the Quad looking for the next eligible bachelor to be their bald man of the month.
In an interview with Amberleigh Prexton — another member of WagTok — I was able to get a better understanding of who these women are and why they are famous to begin with.
“WagTok is famous because it’s a group of women Aggies just living life together,” Prexton said. “Oftentimes, I know my man’s dorm room better than my own, so I need people on my side who just get it. There may be drama, fights, lying, cheating, stealing and tolerating those who do, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
When asked if she had been involved in any of the listed debaucherous activities herself, Prexton declined to comment, saying, “Watch the show if you want to know.”
But beyond the coordinated outfits and the high-pitched “Whoops” lies a group of women who live drama-filled lives fully documented by the film crews that follow them around.
A source close to The Battalion — my roommate — reportedly saw Jones get into a heated argument with her current Corps boyfriend, Colton Walker, just outside the Corps’ dorms. She allegedly caught him holding hands with his roommate and, in response, said she was going to go “Taylor Frankie y’all” on Walker.
Now I don’t know what that means, but apparently she threw all three of her Stanley water bottles at Walker, with one of the bottles hitting Reveille in the muzzle as the First Lady of Aggieland was being walked past this altercation.
Jones is scheduled to appear before the Honor Council regarding her assault on the Queen of Aggieland, and is meanwhile facing the brunt of significant social media backlash. As such, WagTok has been relegated back to irrelevancy, as no coordinated TikTok dance can get them out of this controversy.
As the fate of WagTok rests in the hands of A&M and the public’s opinion as a whole, it serves as a reminder of what boot and clout chasing can lead to in our modern society. Maybe it’s time these Aggie women hang up the uniform and watch the drama from their TVs instead.
