the IFC at Texas actually invited Tejas to join once, but the Tejas Club rejected and prefered to remain independent, although I agree they do act like another other fraternity on campus.

Well, in some ways we might qualify -- or at least we're a hybrid of Greek-letter and non-Greek-letter.
We were founded as The Sinfonia Fraternity, and altough the letters F,M and A had meaning to us and appeared on our badge from a very early date, they were not officially added to our name until 1946. And even then we kept "Sinfonia" in the name. "Sinfonia' is still considered the proper "short hand" name for the Fraternity, and brothers are properly called "Sinfonians" (not "Phi Mu Alphas").

I didn't go to UT, so when I moved to Austin and saw their house, I wondered what the heck it was. Thanks for clearing it up!!

Yea... I agree... The MB's were created as a joke about 5 years ago to basically be the anti greek organization on campus, and although they are not officially recognized by the school the MB's are quite active and have actually pretty much evolved into a full fledged fraternity... It's actually incredibly interesting considering they were founded upon hate of Societies, and yet over time they created traditions, pledging rites, throw parties and have paraphanalia... haha funny stuff, I'm personally doing everything in my power to get them to become official or to die out, because they could be beneficial if they played ball, but as long as they are being anti-social then they are a big thron in my side

Texas A&M also has One Army... While technically a "men's service organization" they were pretty much a fraternity when I was in school. They didn't have a house or anything, but they participated in everything that the greeks did. They did sorority philanthropy stuff and had social events and mixers. They also had a recruitment process that was fairly similar to fraternity rush. A very nice group of guys.
There was also Ol'Ags and one other (sort of anti-greek but still fraternity-like) group that I can't remember the name of right now. All of them were only on our campus.
