Dear Alumni, Parents & Actives,

It's with great pleasure that I congratulate our Tau Chapter on their outstanding academic performance. The Fall 2012 Interfraternity Council Grade Reports -- released by the Office of the Dean of Students -- rank the Tau Chapter second out of 23 Fraternities on the U.T. campus, with a GPA of 3.279. In the same report, Tau New Members garnered the Number One ranking, with a GPA of 3.285.

This impressive academic showing illustrates the quality of young men the Tau Chapter is attracting and is evidence of a Chapter culture that values initiative, hard work and persistence in working toward one's goals.

On behalf of the entire Tau alumni, I commend our Chapter on a job well done.

Tau Alumni Visit the Hallowed Grounds of the Original Kappa Sigma Tau Chapter House

On January 13, the morning following Bill Wittliff's Kappa Sigma Man of the Year celebration, a group of alumni and family gathered at the former site of the original Tau Chapter House for this photo. Located on what was then West 19th Street (now Martin Luther King Blvd.), the house faced the UT campus, with a direct view north to the Tower. It was the home of UT Kappa Sigs for more than 70 years, until the fraternity relocated to West Campus on San Gabriel in 1972, and then to 1002 West 26th Street in 1996. The gathering was a great opportunity to cap off the best Tau alumni reunion in recent history.
