p. 2 TEXAS ALPHA ACCOLADE State of the Chapter Life is no stranger to curveballs. Though the past few years has been anything but normal, the brothers of Texas Alpha remain committed to excelling in all things SigEp. Whether that is through taking up leadership roles within our community or dominating in the classroom, our men have set another high bar. aCademiC SuCCeSS With most classes moved to in person, our chapter has successfully navigated the transition from online learning to face-to-face instruction. With an overall GPA of 3.4, SigEp remains a competitive community amongst Texas fraternities. Notably, our fall 2022 new members ranked highest with a 3.48 GPA—an outstanding performance that calls for recognition and is a testimony to our chapter's bright future. Chapter manpower With 52 outstanding men joining Texas Alpha this past fall, our new members have already demonstrated their devotion to giving back. Aside from their outstanding academic performance, this group has sought opportunities to engage with our community. From a wholistic perspective, the 190 brothers of Texas Alpha continue to use their positive influence for the best. Two philanthropic events have come and gone, and Texas Alpha successfully raised $8,000 to benefit children's emergency care at the Ronald McDonald House. In addition to this, the chapter organized and hosted a blood drive in partnership with We Are Blood to aid in the Texas blood shortage. CampuS LeaderShip While it is easy to get caught up in classes, giving back, and keeping circles small, the brothers of SigEp have been proactive in establishing themselves as leaders across campus. With participation in more than 50 additional student organizations, our members continue to share their positive influence, leadership capabilities, and talents with the Texas community. Some organizations our brothers dedicate their time to include: • Austin Conservation • Interfraternity Council • Reformed University Fellowship • Student Government • Texas Silver Spurs • Texas Undergraduate Law • Undergraduate Geologic Society • University Investors Association • Zavala Afterschool Program HFF, Ted Merrifield tedmerrifield@icloud.com A day of skiing!
