ALPHA AVALANCHE | TEXAS ALPHA | PHI KAPPA PSI | | SPRING EDITION 2023
We began the year hosting our brothers from The Alabama Alpha
Chapter for a heartbreaking football loss, followed by concerts from
Chris Lake and Shane Smith and the Saints, graciously organized and
funded by the Texas Alpha Endowment Fund.
The fall semester included many more tailgates, our annual trip to
Dallas for the Red River Rivalry, our second annual Casino Night
philanthropy fundraiser, Parents Weekend, Phi Psi Frost and our
Winter Formal.
The spring semester was highlighted by our Founders Weekend,
Talladega and Vice parties, Mom's/Dad's weekends and an
entertaining playoff run by Texas basketball.
Outside of those events, brothers stayed engaged with weekly
events such as poker Wednesday, Friday golf, our Phi Psi basketball
association games, video game tournaments and "Old Man" social
gatherings.
As the school year ends and we head into summer, our focus is set on
wrapping up our Bermuda Formal build and continuing rush efforts for
the fall.
Please reach out to Head Rush Captain Richard Raclaw '21 at
richieraclaw@gmail.com or (773) 402-8942 with any referrals.
All in all, it has been a great year, and we're looking forward to seeing
everyone back at tailgates this fall!
