Alumnae Chapter Sweet Chapter

North Houston Alumnae Chapter

North Houston Alumnae Chapter’s Founders Day celebration was extra special this year. Along with marking Gamma Phi Beta’s 150th birthday, the chapter honored two 50-year members: Sherry Mudder and Libby Wambaugh.

Sherry and Libby joined Beta Tau Chapter (Texas Tech) in the fall of 1973 and were initiated in the spring of 1974 as part of the same new member class. During college, Sherry served on the chapter’s recruitment committee, while Libby contributed to several committees and eventually served as the chapter’s parliamentarian.

Both Sherry and Libby remained active with Gamma Phi Beta long after graduation, even co-founding North Houston Alumnae Chapter in 1982. They’ve held numerous leadership roles within the chapter, including president, programming chair, secretary and treasurer. Libby also served as the Panhellenic representative for Montgomery County for over a decade. Their involvement doesn’t stop there — Sherry has been president of the Zeta Rho Chapter House Corporation Board at Texas A&M University-College Station for 13 years, with Libby currently serving as the board’s secretary. For their dedicated and distinguished service to the Sorority, both women received a Merit Award.

When asked about the most meaningful part of their 50-year Gamma Phi Beta journey, Sherry and Libby agreed that staying connected with their new member class — and each other — is something they never take for granted. “We have grown our sisterhood to such a deep level over the past five decades, and that’s something we will always treasure,” they shared.

Hurricane Harbor Splashtown, a popular waterpark in the heart of North Houston, offers a refreshing escape from the Texas heat during the summer months.

2. OLD TOWN SPRING

Loved by locals and visitors alike, this destination features unique boutiques and diverse restaurants. Fun fact: Sherry once owned Old Town Spring’s Bluebonnet Café and hosted holiday alumnae events there for years.

3. LARGEST RODEO IN THE WORLD

There’s no better place to experience a rodeo than Texas — especially at the Houston Rodeo, the world’s largest livestock exhibition and rodeo. This beloved event features everything from rodeo competitions and shopping to live entertainment.
