Part of the problem is there has never been a membership meeting, a board elected by the membership or a President elected by the members. No criticsm of those involved, but it does leave everyone feeling that they have been left out, not matter what their level of giving--in that sense it is not a club just a charitable fund raising effort.


-- I'l have to agree. I appreciate all the efforts --The Mustang Club seems a little too secretive - they need to open this thing up and let everyone know what is going on. Why is everything cryptic.



sorry we cannot tell you anything about the club since you do not know the secret handshake.


that is the way it feels

I'm unfamiliar with other school's athletics fund raising organizations and how they select their officers, etc., but the MC is not a social club. The number one purpose of the Mustang Club is to raise private funds for the support of the Athletics Department. They do also organize and promote functions that encourage fans to participate and support the various teams in other ways as well such as the lunches with Coach Jones, the signing day parties where we get a run down on our new recruits, a tent on the Blvd. for members to enjoy free food and beverages, etc. Their weakest point, IMO, is their communications with those members outside the metroplex. They have improved this somewhat, but still need to do more to help these loyal members feel more like they are a part of the MC and not just a pocketbook...or at least that's what I think.
SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.
