What does it mean to be a Texas Cowboy?

Since its inception in 1922, the Texas Cowboys service organization has been an integral part of the University of Texas at Austin. Members (and alumni) of the Texas Cowboys have proudly provided the UT campus with leadership, character, spirit and service (both before and after graduation).
After the Texas Cowboys' registration as a campus student organization was canceled in 1995, many of its alumni were concerned that a great loss would occur on the UT campus if the Texas Cowboys were not ultimately reorganized and reformed. Accordingly, Texas Cowboys alumni have organized the Texas Cowboys Alumni Association to assist in the reorganization and guidance of the Texas Cowboys student organization and to maintain a continuing relationship of support to the student organization and to the University of Texas.

Mission of Texas Cowboys Alumni Association: To serve the University of Texas at Austin by promoting the spirit and high ideals of the Texas Cowboys, fostering positive relationships among all members of the University community, and assisting in the guidance of the campus Cowboy organization.
