Kappa Sigma Tau Rush 2023 Update
Dear Tau Alumni and Kappa Sigma Parents,

As Head of Tau Chapter Rush for Summer 2023, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Ryan Jinnette, and I'm a rising Junior from Houston, majoring in MIS at the McCombs School of Business.

I had the pleasure of meeting many of you at the Denton Cooley Tau Classic on May 22. Those of you who played in this year's Tau Open might have met Billy Thackston, our Tau Grand Scribe. We enjoyed spending time with you and hearing some great Kappa Sig stories from years past that you shared with us.

We are progressing steadily with our Rush 2023 campaign and are currently in communication with close to 300 potential Rush candidates in Texas and across the country. We hosted an event in Houston on June 10 and have events scheduled in Dallas on June 16, and Austin on June 23 and 24. We plan to have 25+ rushees signed to the new pledge class by the end of this month, with a goal of 60 signed pledges by the end of the summer. With your help, we can reach our goal.

I would like to recognize and thank the following brothers and supporters who have now contributed to Rush 2023:

In order to attract Rushees of the highest quality, we have set our fundraising goal at $50,000. We are now one-third of the way to reaching this goal. The funds will be used to host large-scale social events and smaller group dinners.

We always welcome rush candidate recommendations from the alums. If you would like to recommend someone you know who has expressed interest in pledging Kappa Sig, please call or text me at (832) 962-0251, or you can submit their name and contact information by clicking here. We will promptly reach out to them.

Our newly built website, KappaSigTauUT.org, is an excellent resource for anyone interested in learning about the much-storied Kappa Sig legacy at UT Austin and staying current on Tau news.
