1972-73 and revised as Cheer Phi "Smoov"--the current name used-- in 1994-95. The organization's constitution was revised on March 18, 1999.
* The subtitle of SAPPHIRE is used for members who are selected as alternates. Cheer Phi Smoov
A service organization whose motto is IMAGE IS EVERYTHING! Since 1999...
The fall of 1999 marked a significant turning point in the identity of the Bronco Cheerleaders. Under the direction of their new Coach and Advisor, LaWanda D. Miller, squad members began to be identified by their tryout number and most outstanding quality stated in their tryout essay. Cheer Phi Smoov adopted a new constitution and a new set of standards. Only two lovely ladies were carried over from the previous year's squad and came to be known as the Founders of the "new" Cheer Phi:
Mesha Cameron, 99-00 Captain
#5 - Respect
Shauna Jones, 99-00 Co-Captain
#6 - Style
The 1999-2000 squad coined themselves as the 'Lovely Ladies and GQ Fellas of Cheer Phi Smoov' and brought in cowboy hats, fringed vests, and chaps to exemplify that "This Ain't Nothing but A Funky Bronco Show."
