In Fall 2021, 22 Membership Candidates from class COSMOS will join our organization. This group of wonderful individuals represents the future of our chapter, which this endowment will help support.

The Alpha Tau Chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi boast 54 active members from a wide variety of backgrounds and majors. Each and every member has sacrificed their time to serve the Longhorn Band.

In Fall of 2019, 382 students were part of the Longhorn Band. Kappa Kappa Psi worked hard to provide gear, equipment, and food to all of them at rehearsals and games.

In May of 1940, twenty-eight members of the University of Texas Longhorn Band, under the direction of Colonel George E. Hurt, petitioned the national office of Kappa Kappa Psi for a charter. The charter was granted, and the local chapter was given the name Alpha Tau Nu. After some time, the original chapter name was shortened to Alpha Tau, the chapter’s present name.

$8000 would allow us to complete funding of our endowment and begin rewarding deserving chapter members for their service and dedication.
