Texas Asian Pan-Hellenic Council

A thriving community focused on leadership, scholarship, and service, the Texas Asian Pan-Hellenic Council (TAPC) promotes Asian-American awareness. With five sororities and five fraternities, this community of leaders has established itself as a pillar of involvement and strong values. The TAPC community is not only a support system, but it also provides Asian Americans with opportunities to develop themselves while serving the community. Each organization is unique and offers a distinct vision, so get involved and join TAPC.

Organizations: 10 Members: 424 Web: texastapc.com Facebook: fb.me/ut.tapc Twitter: @Texas_TAPC Instagram: @TEXAS_TAPC

How do I join?

Recruitment for TAPC takes place during both the fall and spring semesters. During the first two weeks of each semester, TAPC organizations hand out flyers on Speedway to advertise their recruitment events. The recruitment period lasts the entire week and is intended to simulate the experience of being a member. The events may include a service project, a mixer, and a sisterhood or brotherhood event.

Why join?

Joining an Asian interest organization allows Asian-American students and those interested in the community an opportunity to build strong relationships with each other through sisterhood and brotherhood. Each organization is committed to supporting and empowering Asian Americans. No matter what organization you choose, you will definitely feel like you have a family away from home in TAPC.

Who is eligible?

Each sorority and fraternity has specific eligibility requirements so we recommend checking out their individual social media accounts and websites for the most up to date information. Some of the requirements you can expect are to be a UT Austin student, submitting an application and being asked for an interview with active members, as well as having and maintaining a minimum GPA.
