FOUNDERS DAY 2022 SAVE THE DATE!
Founders Day Celebration Weekend is set
for February 25, 26 and 27th, 2022.
After a one-year hiatus Texas Alpha will resume its annual
celebration of brotherhood. The weekend will begin with
a group function on Friday evening at Disch-Falk Field
featuring the preseason #1 ranked Longhorn baseball
team taking on the Crimson Tide of Alabama. Saturday
will kickoff with a taco breakfast and sporting clays
competition with skeet and other shooting stations. After
the champions are crowned, brothers will gather at the
chapter house for barbecue and fellowship.
Saturday evening features the Annual Awards Banquet
at the UT Club inside Royal-Memorial Stadium. The entire
alumni and undergraduate chapter will come together with
their dates to honor a number of exceptional undergraduate
Phi Psis along with two of our outstanding alumni brothers –
Jay Carvell '85 and Robert Johnson '64.
Jay Carvell '85 is scheduled to receive the Texas Alpha
Private Sector Service Award for his remarkable
achievements in the field of finance with WhiteHorse Capital.
WhiteHorse provides debt financing to performing middle
market companies in the U.S. and Europe. It has a broad
investment mandate and provides senior, subordinated, and
unitranche debt for refinancings, growth capital, acquisitions,
buyouts, and balance sheet recapitalizations.
Robert Johnson '64 will receive Texas Alpha's highest
honor the George Nelson Lytle Award recognizing his
lifetime of great dedication to the chapter. Robert served
as undergraduate GP and Carnival Chairman, he has held
positions on alumni boards and, is one of Texas Alpha's
largest benefactors through his support of the house
campaign and the annual campaign. Additionally, he
consistently reunites 60s brothers by organizing and hosting
events at his home in Austin.
