Texas Sammy

Letter From the Prior

To the Brothers, Alumni, Parents, and Rushees of Texas Sammy:

Let me be the first to say that the Sigma Theta Chapter of Sigma Alpha Mu is more than just a social club- we are a brotherhood that has had a strong presence at the University of Texas since 1922. Our fraternity has shaped friendships and lives, teaching members the skills necessary for success beyond their collegiate experiences. I am proud to call myself a member of Texas Sammy, and organization that fosters the values of humanity and comradeship.

Today, perhaps more than ever, college fraternities play a relevant role in shaping the lives of young men, and in the last year and a half Sigma Alpha Mu at the University of Texas has shaped my identity in unimaginable ways. Leading such a capable and passionate group of men this year, I am confident that we will see growth in all aspects of the fraternity. Our Council is excited for what’s ahead, and our active members are taking on leadership roles with renewed vigor. I look forward to not only upholding our reputation as a nationally recognized chapter of Sigma Alpha Mu, but also to advancing the accomplishments of Sigma Theta by creating a stronger vision for the future.

About the Sigma Theta Chapter

The Sigma Theta Chapter of Sigma Alpha Mu (Sammy) was founded at the University of Texas on October 22, 1922. Since that day, we have established ourselves as a strong member of the UT Intrafraternity Council (IFC) and continue to make our presence known on campus.

We have been at our current residence in the heart of West Campus, 2501 Leon Street, since 1963 after moving a few blocks from our previous residence at 1919 Robbins Street. Although the men living at the house change from year to year, there are two men that are the glue that holds our fraternity together. Leon “Daddy” Washington, our former house Chef/Porter, has been a staple of the Sigma Alpha Mu house since our days on Robbins St. Even after his unfortunate passing, Daddy’s legacy looms large over all members of this fraternity, past and present. Larry Harris, our current Chef/Property Manager, has been a part of Sigma Alpha Mu for 22 years. He learned all of the old tricks from Leon and has picked up a few of his own over the years. Larry is there for us every day to lend advice and take care of the Sammy house.

Brotherhood at its finest

Academics

Our chapter has ranked #1 for active GPA among all 26 IFC fraternities every semester for the past few years. These results indicate that we hold our members to a very high academic standard.

Geographic Diversity

Our members come from all over. We have actives from Austin, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, El Paso, and Fort Worth to New York, Los Angeles, Memphis, Baton Rouge, Chicago, Miami, Seattle, Portland, Connecticut, Cleveland, Georgia, New Jersey, Mexico, Germany, Ecuador, and Kenya.

Brotherhood

At Texas Sammy, we value brotherhood. Often times throughout the year, we plan brotherhood events to foster these bonds and bring the chapter closer.

Social Events

College is about more than just partying, but at Sammy, we work hard and play hard. We take our reputation as one of the best party spots on campus very seriously, and this is extremely evident in the time and hard work we put into our events.

Student Leadership

Actives in our chapter hold leadership positions in a variety of different on-campus student organizations such as Student Government, Interfraternity Council, Texas Cowboys, Texas Silver Spurs, University Finance Association, and Undergraduate Business Council.

Jewish Identity

Texas Sammy cultivates a strong bond between its members and the Jewish community at Texas as a whole through involvement with Hillel and Chabad.

Just a glimpse of life as a Texas Sammy

<p>One of the premier parties in the winter, Cabin Fever encapsulates the diversity of the Sigma Alpha Mu membership in bringing together Hanukkah and Christmas for one wild night. Hot chocolate, freshman elves, and Santa’s keystone throne are just a few of the traditions that make this party so fun.</p>

<h3>Parents Weekend</h3>
<p>We recognize that the only reason most of us are here receiving a world-class education at the University of Texas is because of the sacrifices made by our parents. As such, we look forward to weekends in the fall and spring when we welcome our parents on the 40 Acres. The weekends are always a great time for all involved, especially last Dad’s weekend when the chapter and their fathers visited Desert Door Distillery in Driftwood, TX.</p>

<h3>Date Events</h3>
<p>There are plenty of opportunities every year for the men of Sigma Alpha Mu to don their nicest outfits and take a date of their choice to a fraternity event. In addition to spring and fall semi-formals, as well as a destination formal during second semester, members and their dates make trips to events around Austin such as Wurstfest and Texas Stars hockey games.</p>

<h3>Texas Tailgates</h3>
<p> One of the best things about attending school in the South is college football. Here at Sammy, we know how to tailgate with live music, food, and drink every Saturday home game in the fall. After the pre-game festivities at the house, the whole chapter and our guests hop on busses that take us right to DKR where we watch the Longhorns crush their competition!</p>

<h3>OU Weekend</h3>
<p>Every year in October, the entire chapter and their dates make the drive up to Dallas for the Texas-OU Red River Rivalry football game. Played at the iconic Cotton Bowl in the middle of the annual Texas State Fair, the weekend is always one for the books. </p>
<p>The charter busses are loaded up Friday and each PC enjoys a dinner with their dates once they settle into the hotel. Saturday consists of enjoying all the festivities Big Tex has to offer and then cheering on the Longhorns as they battle the hated Sooners. The weekend is capped off with a big chapter-wide banquet Saturday night before everyone has to get back to Austin on Sunday.</p>

<h3>Round Up 2019 ft. Jeremih & 3LAU </h3>
<p>The most anticipated weekend of the year is undoubtedly Round Up. Prospective members from all over the country come to Austin to partake in the extravaganza, and Sammy never disappoints. The weekend usually encompasses a Crawfish Boil with 400+ pounds of mudbugs (cooked by our chef, Larry Harris) and big name performers for Carlos and Charlie’s, our largest party of the year. This past year we teamed up with Kappa Sigma had Jeremih and 3LAU, two world class artists, perform. In recent years, we have had performances by NGHTMRE, Asher Roth, RL Grime, Soulja Boy, and G-Eazy.</p>
<p>Round Up is not all about fun though. Through corporate sponsorships and ticket sales, we raise thousands of dollars each year for our national philanthropy, the Alzheimer’s Association.</p>

<h3>Athletics</h3>
<p>Athletics are a huge part of life at Sammy. At the house, there is almost always competitive games of pick up basketball on our newly-renovated court. Additionally, we send multiple teams to compete in UT intramural football, basketball, soccer, and softball, and have had a lot of success in each sport. In the Spring of 2019, Texas Sammy also introduced the Slam Dawg Basketball Association, a basketball league comprised of 8 teams of 9 brothers each playing on our own court at the Sammy House.</p>
<p>Moreover, we pride ourselves with a winning record in the “Matzah Bowl,” an annual Freshman flag football game against ZBT in the Spring.</p>

<p class="p1">Since its inception in 1922, the Texas Cowboys have been an integral part of the University of Texas at Austin. Former Sammy members and alumni of the Texas Cowboys have proudly provided the UT campus with leadership, character, spirit, and service (both before and after graduation). Most visibly, they fire Smokey the Cannon at football games, however at its core they are a service organization dedicated to the University of Texas, the Austin community, and the State of Texas. Moreover, the former President of this organization, Cooper Shear, is one of our own alumni. Unfortunately, the Texas Cowboys are on a brief hiatus from campus. </p>

<h3>Atlantic City</h3>
<p>Often dubbed the most extravagant build in the nation, Sammy’s traditional Atlantic City party is truly a sight to behold. Sammy’s new members are divided into teams and compete to build the best themed bar. Hard work is put into the construction of bars that are ordained with 1000’s of multicolored lights. The entire party is a dazzling display of bright lights and color. People from all over campus are drawn to see the legendary build and enjoy an incredible night.</p>
<p><em><strong>In 2019, the bars were:</strong></em></p>
<ul>
<li>Luau Bar (winner of the “Best Bar”)</li>
<li>Space Bar</li>
<li>Landmark (Hollywood) Bar</li>
<li>Castle Bar</li>
</ul>

<h3>Nightmare on 4th Street ft. Lost Kings</h3>
<p>In a new tradition, Sammy has started organizing a charity Halloween concert at Cedar Street Courtyard, a premier downtown Austin music venue. This past year, we hosted DJ duo Lost Kings and had Audien & Avstin James the previous year. The party was a major success, raising thousands of dollars for our advisor’s cancer battle as well as our charity, the Judy Fund.</p>
