TEXAS ALPHA GIVING HONOR ROLL
TO REMAIN ACTIVE FOR ANNUAL
CAMPAIGN
A newly added 36" x 54" stunning solid brass plaque greets guests
as they enter the new house and it contains the names of 133
brothers that significantly supported construction efforts.
However, the Texas Alpha Giving Honor Roll will remain active and
will be updated every five years to recognize brothers' commitments
to the annual campaign as well.
New TAEF President Kelly Fish '77 stated, "Texas Alpha's alumni
culture must change to fiscally support the chapter if we are to return to top tier status on the UT campus. Building the house
was step one, an annual campaign is step two. One thing that all the top fraternities across the country have in common is a
significant annual campaign."
Moving forward, annual campaign giving will be added to previous house gifts and tracked for cumulative giving of each
brother. If a brother was not able to participate in the house campaign, he could still eventually get his name on the Honor
Roll plaque by reaching a cumulative giving level of $5,000. Additionally, brothers can move up into different giving levels. For
example, if a brother is presently at the $5,000 Brotherhood Society and makes a pledge to the annual campaign of $1,000
per year ($83.34/month), after five years he would move to the $10,000 Tri-Phi Cornerstone Society. Nobody's name will ever
be removed from the Honor Roll; names can only be added.
Fish concluded, "The Giving Honor Roll plaque is an impressive statement of dedication to Texas Alpha. We would like to see
as many brothers' names on it as possible. If brothers go to phipsitexas.com they can sign up online for monthly giving
and take a virtual tour of the house."
