FALL 2024
W
elcome to the fall 2024 semester, Texas Alpha! We survived
(and prospered) through the spring and summer. Spring grades
just came in; the chapter GPA was 3.5, beating both the overall UT
undergraduate and IFC GPAs. Given how active brothers are Thursday
through Saturday, this is quite the achievement!
Spring was chock-full of socials and community service events. In
May, the alumni board hosted a dinner for our 40-plus graduating
seniors. Our senior retention rate is one of the highest in the country
given our size. We hope that means that the experience at Texas
Alpha is worth the time and effort.
Summer recruitment (finally!) ended with 53 new members joining
Texas Alpha from all over Texas, the U.S., and Ireland. Now that we
are in the SEC, chapter leaders are making plans to increase security
and safety at football games and tailgates. We may be overly cautious
here, but it's necessary.
We continue to strengthen our ties to the university through some
leadership training that concludes this semester after almost a year,
as well as lend our support to the newly formed West Campus
Ambassadors program, a university-sponsored effort to promote
safety in the West Campus area. With all of that, you can count on
the brothers to have a full schedule this fall.
Please come by and join us for the home football games as we
manhandle our way through the SEC! Hook 'em!
If you can't make it to Austin, you can keep up with the chapter
and fellow Texas Alpha alumni on our alumni LinkedIn page
(linkedin.com/groups/3089903). Also new this year, you can update
your contact information or share personal news anytime by visiting
