The DLSU Animo Squad was originally known in its pre-war NCAA years as Br. John Lynam's 1924 La Salle Rah! Rah! Boys, then in 1926 as the LSC Yell Commanders. The DLSC Squad was one of the first and oldest Collegiate Cheerleading Spirit teams in the Philippines. It was renamed decades later on as the post-war DLSC Cheerleading Squad, then in the late 1980s as the DLSU Pep Squad until 2008, when it was renamed later on by Br. Bernard Oca, FSC as the present DLSU Animo Squad. The DLSU Green & White Spirit Team has since then won five cheer dance podium finishes in the span of its UAAP participation, in 1994, 1996, 1998, 2011, and 2013. The original Lasallian cheerleading spirit team was formally established from 1924 to 1926 with four La Salle Rah! Rah! Boys / LSC Yell Command pioneers. Brother John Lynam's pre-war La Salle Rah! Rah! Boys, as well as his LSC and DLSC Yell Commanders up to Brother Bernard Oca's present DLSU Animo Squad, have been continuously cheerleading for 98 years. The original members of the De La Salle cheerleading squad were all male until the inclusion of its first female cheerleaders in the early 1970s. The DLSC cheerleading squad was the first spirit team in both the NCAA and UAAP to have female cheerleaders. The first female DLSC cheerleaders were then cross-enrollees from nearby St. Scholastica's College, Manila before De La Salle College turned co-educational in 1973. During De La Salle's pre-war NCAA years, Lasallites enjoyed singing several pre-war battle songs such as the "Men of La Salle!", "On Into The Fight - Green Archer Battle Song", "Cheer! Cheer! For O'l De La Salle", the "De La Salle Victory Song", "Go La Salle Fight Song", and more.

The Tradition, History, and Origins of AN1MO LA SALLE! The valiant battle cry of Animo! means to have the "Spirit and Will to Fight" or being Invictus as a Green Archer to overcome and win against all adversity. Animo La Salle!, the traditional school battle cry, was inspired by Saint Jean-Baptiste de La Salle's Spirit and Charism of "Faith & Zeal" that his first band of De La Salle Christian Brothers strictly adhered to while working for their noble mission and arduous task of saving young, innocent street souls by Teaching Minds, Touching Hearts and Transforming Lives of the very Last, the Least and the Lost among the most venerable, neglected and outcasted youth of Europe. The Lasallian spirit of "Faith/Hope" is symbolized by a radiant Signum Fidei Star, inspired by the Nativity Star of Christmas Eve. Saint La Salle together with his first band of Christian Brothers undertook a heroic vow for their noble mission of giving hope by providing a more promising and brighter future through their tuition-free Lasallian brand of GOD-centered, Catholic education to thousands of uneducated poor children of France 350 years ago. The Lasallian spirit of "Zeal/Courage" on the other hand, is symbolized by three broken chevrons that represent the three broken leg bones painfully suffered by Warrior Chieftain Johan Salla of Atphonus the Chaste, King of Oviedo, Spain, who was the great grandfather of Saint La Salle who fought several battles while defending to protect Christian Spain from the marauding Eastern Moorish armies. The ancient broken chevrons can be seen on the 1000-year-old royal coat of arms of the De La Salle family of Spain and France. The ancient family motto is Indivisa Manent, Latin for "Permanently Indivisible", which gave rise to the modern centennial motto of the 16 Christian Brother educational institutions of De La Salle Philippines perpetually indivisible as "One La Salle!".

The vintage "Zama Zipa Zam" pre-war cheer was taken from the power up phrase of superhero Captain Marvel - "Shazam!" from his old comic books.
