Women’s Soccer Team Announced as New Sorority Philanthropy
Following a recent update on the Gamma Kappa MaroonLink page, sources have confirmed that the sorority has updated their philanthropy to be “Texas A&M Women’s Soccer Awareness.” The change in philanthropy is largely due to the lack of recognition surrounding the soccer team’s 8-2 season this past fall, compounded with other unrecognized accomplishments.
“I’m just so glad we get the opportunity to recognize the team’s standard of success,” said Katrina Lowell, the philanthropy chair for Gamma Kappa. “I mean, the team has a 20-year streak of NCAA Tournament appearances, a number 1 ranking within the SEC during their third year of being in the conference, and they haven’t posted a losing record since their official elevation to varsity status in 1993.”
An average home game for the soccer team will have about 2,562 attendees at just over 31% capacity. The highest attended, non-NCAA championship game in the team’s history occurred in 2006, with 8,204 fans arriving to watch Texas A&M take on North Carolina. This is in sharp contrast to the attendance record for the Texas A&M football team, which usually falls between 96 and 98% capacity for match-ups as minor as Louisiana-Lafayette or University of Texas at San Antonio.
Athletic Director Ross Bjork seemed to be on-board with the philanthropic addition. “You know, those girls are pretty good at raising money for those little causes,” Bjork said. “If they raise enough money and get enough donors interested, we may be able to use some of the soccer team’s funding to refurbish the football practice field.”

An exhibitionist at heart, she’s been arrested for streaking fifteen times since 2012. UPD is aware of her presence and is doing their best to keep her away from sporting events, graduations, and the background of promotional materials. You can often find her doing squats at the Rec. If you ask politely, she might just show you her assets.
