Texas Zeta has seen many a great feat this Spring Semester at the University of Texas at Tyler. Greek Week was the semester's most festive event for UT Tyler Greek life. The chapter took part in the week's day by day events including a campus wide "Project Toga", "Can Castle", and the "Greek Games". April 1st-5th was a week full of fun and plenty of mingling with fellow sororities and fraternities, a tradition that will continue to build the unity of the Greek community at UT Tyler. Texas Zeta has also taken a number of service projects far and wide across the city of Tyler. February 15th was the Bethesda Health Clinic's Dr. Luke charity dinner at Willow Brook Country Club. Several chapter members volunteered to be doorman for the esteemed attendees for the evening. The Tyler Run for Autism was an event assisted by the helping hands of chapter members on April 13th. Texas Zeta has been in close affiliation with Children's Miracle Network, our national Fraternity's philanthropy. There are a couple events coming up in support of CMN, including the Children's Miracle Network Telethon that airs on June 5th. As we end the semester we look forward to our annual Semi-Formal on Friday May 3rd at the Ornelias Activities Center in Tyler. The evening will start at 7 PM and will include a dinner and dance to close the evening. We would like to congratulate the following members on their upcoming graduation from the university: Dillon Driscoll, James Paul Cochran, Dakota DeWoody, Kole DeWoody, and Jon Morris. Thank you gentleman for your service to the fraternity, best of luck in your future endeavors. The chapter's events for the Fall 2013 semester are currently in the works and we look forward to gaining a new pledge class. If you feel as though you have what it takes to become a True Gentleman, do not hesitate reach us.

With the beginning of a new school year, comes new excitement among the gentlemen of the Texas Zeta chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. We will be celebrating a huge milestone, as our chapter will be celebrating our 5th anniversary December 5th. Making it to our 5th year is a huge accomplishment not only for our chapter but greek life as whole at The University of Texas at Tyler. Celebrating with us are nine new members. During formal recruitment, 9 men began their journey to becoming true gentlemen. The culmination of their semester will be December 1st, the date of their initiation. Highlighting this semester are Monster Bash and Homecoming 2012. Monster Bash is an annual tradition here at UT Tyler. This year we changed things up and invited a local band to come and perform on our campus. Westbound 21 performed on October 26th. They were recently voted the best country band in East Texas. Thanks to everyone that attended and supported your local true gentlemen! Homecoming at any campus is an exciting time of year! The University of Texas at Tyler is no different. This week long celebration is a great way for us to celebrate our past and look forward to the future. The texas zeta chapter was lucky enough to have some of our alum come by and celebrate with us! Not to mention one of our own was voted onto the Homecoming court! We have had a great semester. We look forward to celebrating our past, present, and future with our 5th anniversary gala this December and that spring boarding us to 5 even more successful years at Texas Zeta!

"The True Gentleman is the man whose conduct proceeds from good will and an acute sense of propriety, and whose self-control is equal to all emergencies; who does not make the poor man conscious of his poverty, the obscure man of his obscurity, or any man of his inferiority or deformity; who is himself humbled if necessity compels him to humble another; who does not flatter wealth, cringe before power, or boast of his own possessions or achievements; who speaks with frankness but always with sincerity and sympathy; whose deed follows his word; who thinks of the rights and feelings of others, rather than his own; and who appears well in any company, a man with whom honor is sacred and virtue safe."

John Walter Wayland, 1899
