Dear Tau Trustees, Alumni, Parents, & Actives,
As we begin the New Year, I would like to express to you my gratitude for all you've helped the Tau Chapter accomplish and my optimism for the opportunities ahead. We begin 2016 with:
● A strong, healthy Chapter made up of 200+ men who appear to be as serious about their studies as they are about fellowship and the never-ending bond of brotherhood.
● Continuing recognition from Kappa Sigma Fraternity for actives and alumni who share their talents to benefit their brothers - and their communities.
● A new Residence Hall under construction that, when completed, will house 36 undergraduates, provide additional parking, and be on par with the Lodge as one of the finest facilities of its kind around the UT campus.
● A committed group of alums who have given more than $3 million to restore the Lodge and begin construction on the Residence Hall.
● A new Tau Legacy website dedicated to the
Tau Legacy 2015 Capital Campaign to fund the new Residence Hall.
We are on the precipice of our greatest moment in 50 years, but
we need at least $3.5 million more to finish the Residence Hall, meaning that we need the help of every member of our Kappa Sigma Tau family -- alums, actives, and parents alike.
Please dig deep and help us continue the Tau Legacy that has enriched our lives and helped us enrich the lives of others through the years. Your generous donation is an investment that will pay dividends for years to come in helping shape the lives of young men, many of whom will be our future leaders in business, government, science, and the arts.
Please mail your pledge card and contribution today to:
Tau Legacy 2015
P.O. Box 5021
Austin, TX 78763-5021
On behalf of the TKSEF Board and Tau Trustees, I extend our deep gratitude to 2015 Campaign Chairman Danny Grant '79 and Campaign Director Willie Madden '83 for their service this past year and their continuing service in 2016.
As we look to the future, let's also take a moment to remember the passing of Kappa Sigma Tau brothers we have lost this year, including three Tau Man of the Year recipients, two of whom were also honored as International Kappa Sigma Man of the Year:
Dan Burck '51, 2001 Tau Man of the Year and 2015 International Kappa Sigma Man of the Year
Mark Hart '62, 1993 & 1996 Tau Man of the Year
Richard Rainwater '63, 1989 Tau Man of the Year and 1995 International Kappa Sigma Man of the Year
We mourn the passing of these giants of industry, with profound gratitude for their many contributions to the Tau Chapter and their communities.
I wish all of you many blessings in 2016, and look forward to seeing you at golf tournaments in Austin or Houston, and certainly at Tau Trustees and Parents' Weekend next fall.
A.E.K.D.B.,
Mike Sharpe '79
President
Texas Kappa Sigma Educational Foundation
