NFL POOL
Here's an opportunity to support the chapter by taking part in our NFL pool.
The pool has been running informally for the past four weeks for fun. But, we
would like to start the scoring over to include the monetary factor to make it more
interesting and increase participation.

is intended to try and insure as many of our alumni are aware of the happenings this
weekend in Waco as well as mention some other relevant alumni related news and events. |

Homecoming 99
vs Colorado Buffaloes The actives appear to be going all-out this
year to make sure this years Homecoming experience is a good one.
Friday, November 12
GEORGE's
As always, brothers are planning to meet Friday night at George's to catch up on old
times. If you're one of the early revelers, try and claim a few tables.
"Will you not, as a loyal patron of dear old George's, lay aside for a few day
the usual sobriety of life, come back to your Casa de Cerveza, renew former inebriations
and friendships, and catch the Big-O buzz again?"
-George's Proprietor Sammy Citrano, 1999 -via Chad Carlson ('91)
Saturday, November 12
ALUMNI vs ACTIVES Softball Game
The actives have challenged the alumni to a softball tournament
early Saturday morning. Kyle Cronan (254)
714-2345. The game is at 10am at Brookland Park? Off orchard lane, across the river
and down the street from the HOLIDAY INN. Cronan will have a map at george's friday
night.
I believe a significant amount of beer money is on the table with this challenge and the
trash talking has been ever present.
Bears vs Buffs
The SigEp tailgate is located at the usual place. Next to the
practice field, behind the visitors section. There is always a large SigEp flag that
flies over our tent. We tailgate away from the other Baylor organization and
usually have the largest attendance. The actives mentioned Vitek's BBQ for catering
so bring your appetite and a contribution to help cover their costs. If you have any
questions, please contact Connor Sheehan
(254) 759-0067.
Ranch Party
A band has been hired, Casey Kelly, so plan to attend if you remain in town.
I imagine the activities will begin somewhere around nine.
T-Shirts are also available for this party and can be ordered through Aaron Stephenson (254) 299-7552. |

Help Support Texas Rho
The alumni have done a really good job this year of contributing to the chapter.
One of the goals of the alumni board this year is to raise enough funds to allow
our national chapter Education Fund to become eligible for participation in the National
Investment Pool. The balance in order for this fund to become eligible must be a
minimum of $2500.Through our collections at the Spring Alumni Golf
Tournament, the March Madness Pool, Fall Golf Tournament proceeds (extra thanks to Eric
Fisher, '80 for getting that together) and other miscellaneous contributions, we should
have enough money to deposit in our National Education Fund Account to obtain Investment
Pool eligibility.
We feel it is very important that those who have made contributions are
recognized so that your generosity and support do not go unnoticed. There is also a
recognition area on the SigEp web site. Thanks to the following alumni for monetary
contributions made year-to-date:
1999 Texas Rho Honor Roll
Jim Beam ('87) David Dooley ('86)
Jeremy McKinnis ('92) Mark Lynn ('94)
Collins Deloach ('91) Marshal McSpadden ('95)
David Newberry ('91) Will Stokes ('87)

Campaign For The Balanced Man
Today's reality is... Sigma Phi
Epsilon is the preeminent fraternity in the country according to its peers. This is
a tribute to the undergraduates today and to alumni who created this outstanding legacy.
The other reality is... our Texas Rho chapter is lagging in endowment support
behind many of the other fraternities present on the Baylor campus. The Campaign for
the Balanced Man is our response, so that we have the strength in the future to assist our
undergraduate chapter with scholarship and leadership support. Demands on
undergraduates finances are beginning to far exceed their resources. If someone
looks at Sigma Phi Epsilon's most successful chapters over time, it is clear that alumni
financial and volunteer support has been a key success factor. Your
investment adds strength to our chapter... strength that is directed to the development of
the individual Brother. Our Texas Rho chapter is going to be strong in the
future because alumni giving on a regular, unrestricted basis will provide the resources
to meet the needs of the undergraduate actives. When you invest in Sigma Phi Epsilon
you create a legacy that continues the value you received. With broad support from
its alumni, Sigma Phi Epsilon will continue to provide a first class experience in an
ever-more challenging world. If alumni invest in Sigma Phi Epsilon to help
build long term resources, our young Brothers will have the tools they need to continue
our Fraternity's great record of leadership. Help endow the Texas Rho Balanced Man
Scholarship. The key to a chapter running this program effectively starts with
having the money to offer the scholarship. All gifts given to the 'restricted' Texas
Rho Educational Foundation fund will be acknowledged in the Texas Rho Newsletter and on
the web site and receipted to you for tax purposes. This endowment is initially
restricted to fund the Balanced Man Scholarship. Rush continues to grow increasingly
competitive among the many fraternities on Baylor's campus and ensuring the consistent
implementation of the Balanced Man Scholarship gives our undergraduate chapter a greater
presence and an advantage in recruiting while providing a positive program even our Baylor
constituents support. As the fund grows, the annual income will also provide other
scholarships for our undergraduate members and for educational or leadership programs.
The larger our fund grows the more we will have each year for these programs.
This is why your participation is so important.
Back in 1995, our Conclave saw the passing of legislative action which encouraged
chapters to develop a plan with its alumni to establish a $50,000 scholarship fund,
restricted for its educational programs. This may seem like a lofty goal to a few of
you, but we are quickly becoming a mature membership (with close to 650 alumni) that has
the power to easily make this goal attainable. Your participation is the most
important thing... so please participate by pledging any amount. Brothers
helping Brothers is what sets Texas Rho's Educational Foundation apart from the wide array
of options you face in charitable giving.
Thanks for your support,
The SigEp Alumni Board of Texas Rho
