Chapter Establishes Mentoring and
Accountability Groups, Plans Busy Spring
L
ast fall was an exciting and productive semester. We instituted an
Academic Mentoring Council (AMC) to facilitate and ease the
transition from high school to college for our freshman class and to offer
a chance for additional intragrade interaction. The AMC is composed
of members from the sophomore, junior, and senior pledge classes with
different majors who have excelled academically in their time at UT.
We also established a Standards Board with members from every pledge
class. The idea behind this group is not one of punishment, but one of
accountability and camaraderie. Members of the Standards Board are
tasked with going the extra mile and making sure their pledge brothers
aren't getting too distracted with unimportant things and are committed
to their academic pursuits and remaining involved in extracurricular
activities.
We have another exciting semester planned this spring. Our annual
dodgeball tournament will benefit the Lone Star Paralysis Fund, and we
will host a country concert featuring Parker McCollum, a spring Parent's
Weekend, and our signature safari party.
The men of Texas Alpha are euphoric with the success of the chapter, and
we look forward to the continual refining of our culture of success. Because
of our chapter's unparalleled leadership, involvement, scholarship, and
loyal alumni support, we will undoubtedly remain the most elite fraternity
on UT's campus for years to come.
Thank you for your support, as none of the chapter's success would be
possible without your generosity. Please contact me at any time with
questions or suggestions for our chapter. Have a great spring!
