In the Spring of 2020, the chapter had one of the best academic performances in the past 20 years. We finished the semester with a chapter record of 33 4.0’s (tied for 3rd out of all fraternities) and a final GPA average of a 3.63. The current President, Quinn Boyd, decided to resurrect the “Academic Chairman” position in the fraternity in hopes to help lead our new members or those struggling in developing good study habits and staying on top of their workload. Leo Franques was elected to this position and did a tremendous job leading from a distance while always offering his support to those seeking it.

The chapter persevered through the constantly changing and difficult format of online learning and came out on top with a spectacular academic performance. We are taking the same attitude and determination in our studies into the fall semester and will continue striving towards excellence.
In honor of our late brother, Wes Smith, our chapter has established an annual philanthropy event: the Wes Smith Memorial Flag Football Tournament. This event brings together members of the community for a day of friendly competition and meaningful impact. Proceeds from the tournament, along with an accompanying auction, directly support the Wes Smith Endowment Fund—an initiative dedicated to providing tuition assistance for students in need.
The tournament was held for the second time this past fall and successfully raised approximately $50,000 for the fund. We are deeply grateful to the Smith family for their continued support and to Texas Christian University for generously allowing us to use the TCU Football facilities.
We look forward to hosting this special event again this coming fall and continuing Wes’s legacy by giving back to those who need it most.
