Dear Tau Alumni and Kappa Sigma Parents,

As the Heads of Rush for 2026, we would love the opportunity to provide an update on the recruitment of Pledge Class ‘26.



We thoroughly enjoyed the privilege of meeting many of you at the Houston and Fort Worth Alumni Rush Fundraisers. Events like these are testaments to the strong impact that Tau has left, and continues to leave, on its brothers. Hearing stories and anecdotes from our cherished alumni means the world to us.

Rush is pushing along strong! We are in continuous communication with nearly 400 potential new members across Texas and the US, and are finding new prospects daily. We have been fortunate enough to host several successful Rush events, including one at the Warren Wildlife Gallery in Austin. In the last 2 weeks, we have had remarkable turnouts at our annual Houston and Austin State events, as well as smaller events, bringing us up to 52 current signees. We are excited about the strong momentum that we have built up to this point, and are determined to keep our foot on the gas for the rest of the summer. By the beginning of the school year, we aim to have 70 pledges. Your dedication and generosity are pivotal in the accomplishment of our goal this summer.
