From Our President

Howdy!

Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year and to the Kappa Alpha Magnolia Club at Texas A&M!  I’m looking forward to serving as this year’s President, and I’m excited to get to know so many of you as we support our sons.  We have a great year planned!

I’m a KA mom of two –Holden is a senior this year, and Hudson is a sophomore. Over the past few years, our family has been blessed by the friendships, brotherhood, and traditions that make this chapter so special. My husband Clint and I have seen firsthand how KA helps shape young men into leaders of character, and it’s truly a privilege to be part of it.

The KA Magnolia Club was established in 2008 to promote friendships and communication among the families of the Kappa Alpha Order fraternity, Epsilon Delta Chapter. Over the last 17 years, our group has played an important role in supporting the chapter – whether it’s helping with events, providing encouragement, or helping fund projects.  Our recent funds have gone towards a new wood fence and gate, a concrete walkway, two pickleball courts, additional exterior lighting, and a sprinkler system at the KA house. We’ll have several opportunities to get involved throughout the year, and I encourage you to join in however you can. 

Our Magnolia group established this website with the hopes that it would be used to communicate with all KA families. Regardless of whether you choose to join the Magnolia Mom’s Club, we hope every family will use this website to learn about the various events going on during the year. Each year, everyone needs to re-register on this website as that gives us our email list for the current year.  

Thank you for being apart of our group, and we look forward to seeing you at some of the 2025-2026 events!  Join us for Mom’s Weekend October 17-19, 2025 and Parent’s Weekend April 17-19, 2026.  I don’t have a Dad’s Weekend date yet, but will let you know as soon as we have the date.  The boys plan that event themselves and it’s usually held in February.  

Please check back often for updates on upcoming events, ways to volunteer and ways to connect with other KA moms. We’re looking forward to a great year!

If you ever have any questions or ideas, don’t hesitate to reach out. Together, let’s make this a fantastic year for our boys!
