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.

I hope you enjoy our website, and if you have any questions or comments, I can be reached at (214) 450-7479 or via email at victorsandoval@utexas.edu.

Fraternally,

Victor Sandoval, PC ’17

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 18 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.

<h3>Round Up 2018 ft. RL Grime</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 and Beta and had RL Grime, a world class DJ, perform. In recent years, we have had performances by NGHTMRE, Asher Roth, Waka Flocka, 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>
<p>Check out our 2018 Round up video that was created by Nick Klesmith (PC ’16)</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>

<h3>Alumni</h3>
<p>At Sammy, we make sure not to forget those who came before us. Composites of years past ordain the living area walls and members can easily locate fathers, relatives, and family friends. Many alumni stay involved in the fraternity years after they graduate and frequently visit the house.</p>

Rush Captains

Rush represents the influx of new members into the fraternity. Every fall, prospective members rush Sammy to learn about the chapter and find their place in it. Rush captains are responsible for accommodating prospective new members. If you are interested in rushing Sammy and joining the current 150 brothers, contact a rush captain to begin your journey.
