Cooley Tau Classic Draws Record Turnout
 | |
Denton Cooley, MD '38 welcomes his Kappa Sig brothers to the annual tournament named in his honor.
|
The 2014 Denton Cooley Tau Classic golf tournament, held February 18, was the most successful Tau Classic to date, attracting 80 players, nine sponsors, and seven volunteers. As in years past, the venue was Houston's Memorial Park Golf Course.
This year's format featured a four-man scramble with gross and net winners (20 handicap max). Players from the Tau Chapter and other Kappa Sig chapters participated in the annual tournament, now in its seventh year. Tournament directors Jim Pritchett and Chuck Berson coordinated the day's events, which included a full day of golf, capped off with happy hour and the trophy presentation.

Distinguished Alumni Speakers' Series
| |
Hagen McMahon '66 is Featured Speaker
 The Tau Chapter welcomed Hagen McMahon as its guest alumnus speaker on March 3. McMahon, known for his vast social network, close ties to his Tau brothers, and expansive story telling abilities, reflected on his student days as a UT Kappa Sig, where he was fortunate to have Frank Erwin, then chairman of the University of Texas System Board of Regents and a Kappa Sig alumnus, as a mentor and inspiration. McMahon's career has been distinguished, colorful and varied. Four U.S. presidential administrations have sought his advice on banking legislation and regulation concerns. During the 80s, a time of rapid growth for the oil and gas and real estate industries, he served as executive director of The Independent Bankers Association of Texas. He has since served on numerous bank, corporate and academic boards throughout the state and has represented U.S. corporate business interests in Panama and Mexico.

He is a former president of the Texas Kappa Sigma Educational Foundation and a past chairman of the Tau Trustee and Alumni Association. In 2010, he was honored as Tau Man of the Year and, in 2005, was awarded the John G. Tower Distinguished Alumni Award. For three consecutive years, he was the recipient of the Tau Chapter's Frank C. Erwin Award.
He holds a Bachelor of Business and Economics from the University of Texas and a Master's degree from Southern Methodist University's School of Banking. He lives in Austin with his wife, Susan. They have two sons, Beau and Hagen III, a daughter, Wynne, a son-in-law, John Kennedy, a grand daughter, Avery, and a sundry of family pets.

| Grand Master Update |
Dear Alumni & Parents,
March was an exhausting but fun-filled month for the Tau Chapter. Our Executive Council and the entire Chapter put lots of work, effort and enthusiasm into making this year's Round Up successful and, by all accounts, it was. The Kappa Sig lodge was definitely "the place to be," as we had a huge turnout of people join us for our weekend-long festivities.
On March 3, Tau alumnus Hagen McMahon was our featured speaker and gave an enlightening presentation about his career as a banker, business owner and lobbyist. Also, in March, a third of our Chapter attended an IFC Risk Reduction Seminar, which I can say firsthand was both educational and enjoyable.
April will be a busy and productive month for us as well. Our Chapter hosted its second annual Kappa Sig Masters on April 5, which is our philanthropy putt-putt golf event. On April 12, we look forward to opening our lodge to our families with our Spring Parents' Weekend "Night in Monte Carlo" dinner. On April 25 and 26, many of us will participate in the Tau Open golf tournament in Lakeway, open to both actives and alumni.
Thank you, everyone, for your continuing support of the Chapter and please know that I'm always just a phone call or email away.
A.E.K.D.B.

A redshirt junior, McCarthy helped his UT men's golf team tie for seventh place in a field of 20 teams competing.
