Maybe y'all are motherless/unbranded animals? Is the new name all about not getting tattoos or brands?
1: an unbranded range animal; especially : a motherless calf
2: an independent individual who does not go along with a group or party

I assumed definition 1, cuz lord knows that individualism at that school isn't exactly the norm. Plus, a lot of the kids there seem to be lost and wandering around aimlessly.
Maverick-->Top Gun-->RT's segue
I knew a lot of people from the Naval Academy class of 93 and 94, and they told me that a good 70 to 80 percent of their class went in wanting to be fighter pilots because of Top Gun. Most of them got booted from consideration because of their vision, but they said that movie was one of the best recruiting efforts the Navy ever did during peacetime.
