The Wolfpack competes at the National Collegiate Athletic Association ( NCAA ) Division I ( Football Bowl Subdivision ( FBS ) for college football ) as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference ( ACC ) for all sports since the 1953 -- 54 season. Men 's sports include baseball, basketball, cheerleading, cross country, football, golf, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, track and field, and wrestling. Women 's sports include basketball, cheerleading, cross country, golf, gymnastics, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, track and field, and volleyball. Rifle is a co-ed team. The athletic teams of the Wolfpack compete in 23 intercollegiate varsity sports. NC State is a founding member of the ACC and has won eight national championships : two NCAA championships, two AIAW championships, and four titles under other sanctioning bodies. Most NC State fans and athletes recognize the rivalry with the North Carolina Tar Heels as their biggest. The primary logo for NC State athletics is a red block ' S ' with an inscribed ' N ' and ' C '. The block S has been in use since 1890 but has seen many alterations through the years. The color red was adopted from the state bird, the cardinal. It became the sole logo for all NC State athletic teams in 2000 and was modernized to its current design in 2006. NC State athletic teams are nicknamed the ' Wolfpack '. The name was adopted in 1921 when a disgruntled fan described the behavior of some of the school 's football players as being `` as unruly as a pack of wolves ''. Prior to the adoption of the current nickname, North Carolina State athletic teams went by such names as the Aggies, the Techs, the Red Terrors, and Farmers.

Gruber in 1908. It is essentially a sped - up version of `` The Caisson Song '', or more recently, `` The Army Goes Rolling Along. '' Red and White Song The Red and White Song is a popular song sung by fans and played by the band at many NC State athletic events, especially at football and basketball games. It was written by J. Perry Watson, a former Director of Music at NC State, and was introduced in 1961 ; students first sang the `` Red and White '' song at the NC State -- Maryland game on February 13, 1961. The song, although very popular, is in fact not the official Fight Song of NC State. The colors mentioned in the song refer to NC State 's main athletic colors, while `` Caroline '', `` Devils '', and `` Deacs '' refer to other Tobacco Road team names : North Carolina Tar Heels, Duke Blue Devils, and Wake Forest Demon Deacons. The NC State Alma Mater NC State 's Alma Mater was written by two students in the early 1920s. Dr. Alvin M. Fountain, a class of ' 22 alumnus and editor of The Technician, wrote the words, while Bonnie Norris, from the class of 1923, composed the music. Mascot Since 1975, the NC State Wolfpack athletic teams have been represented at athletic events by its mascots, Mr. and Mrs. Wuf, who were married on February 28, 1981 by the Demon Deacon at Reynolds Coliseum at halftime of an college basketball game between NC State and Wake Forest. The Demon Deacon presided over the wedding. In print, the `` Strutting Wolf '' is used and is known by the name `` Tuffy. '' In September 2010, a purebred Tamaskan dog became the new live mascot, `` Tuffy ''.
