3 hours and
41 minutes
Mascot: The Mustang
“Peruna” is the mustang
mascot.
There is a costumed Peruna
and a live Peruna.
Live Peruna
• The live “Peruna” is a
Shetland pony.
• Some UT students tried to
“horse-nap” (steal) Peruna
once, but they stole the
wrong horse!
• Shetland ponies are small
horses.
Rally Cry: Pony Up

Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue
Hand Signal
Make “pony ears.”
Very similar to TCU’s “horned frog”
sign, but you do not bend
your fingers down as far.
SMU's motto: Veritas Liberabit Vos
Always tell the truth! Lying is like a trap.
The truth allows you to be free from
worry and guilt.
Religious Life
•
SMU is a private, Methodist institution which offers:
The Office of the Chaplain and Religious Life is committed
to supporting you in issues of faith, purpose and meaning.
Religious Life groups can help you get connected!
University Worship is a community of students, faculty, staff,
alumni and friends in the United Methodist tradition and is
open to all.
Resident Community Chaplains are placed in almost every
residence hall and are available for guidance, spiritual direction,
self-understanding and many other concerns you may have.
•
Remember: Private Universities can cost quite a bit more!
