A History of Excellence

     In the almost 50 years of Texas Beta the men of the chapter have excelled across the campus as well as at the national level. From 1961 through 1964 the chapter was in the top ten among ALL fraternities across America in total group GPA. Among that group were men bound for success including Federal Judge Sam Cummings, Lubbock mayor Alan Henry, and Major General Walter Huffman (now Dean of the Law School at Texas Tech). 

     This performance does not come free and potential members should consider their own personal philosophy as to dedication to improving their minds and spirit. Our members are not "drafted" into campus and community service...rather we seek out those men who desire to give back to society.

     The chapter has competed effectively at the level of the national organization. Several brothers have been awarded national scholarships including "Tutor-in-Residence", "Summerfield Scholars", as well as served the headquarters as traveling Educational Leadership Consultants.
