President of The Sul Ross Group

The Sul Ross Group is made up of all Aggies who have attended A&M from the Classes that have celebrated 55 years or more since graduation and reunites each year in College Station. The Reunions are organized by the president and first and second vice president. A common misconception is that the group is comprised of former Ross Volunteers, but that is not a prerequisite of being a member of the group. The group originally formed in 1947 when several Classes, who were students during the presidency of Lawrence Sullivan Ross, came together to enjoy one Reunion rather than organizing multiple Class Reunions. T.L. Smith ’98 and a few others are credited with the formation of the Sul Ross Group; while he served as General Chairman for the Reunions, he also funded the Reunions. Although the Sul Ross Group has evolved over more than 50 years, the general purpose remains the same.
