Membership has it's privledges. In addition to supporting future and current OU students through scholarships, your membership entitles you to free publications, happy hours, watch parties, and much, much more.

Publications

Throught the year the Club publishes newsletters, flyers and this Web site which highlight activities in Dallas as well as noteworthy events in Norman. They give notification of club meetings, and events such as The Annual BEAT TEXAS WEEKEND, Happy Hours, Watch Parties, Academic Scholarships and Academic Recruiting. These are great ways to stay informed as well as keep that Sooner Spirit! We also provide an e-mail newsletter for those interested in being quickly informed of upcoming club events and activites. To be a member of this mailing list you must be a current member of our club. For membership in the OU Club of Dallas click here. To sign up for the e-newsletter click here.

Sooner Athletics

We schedule bus trips to some local-area football games if the interest level is high enough, the Annual BEAT TX WEEKEND in October, and several Coaches meetings and watch parties throughout the year. We also award a $2,000 scholarship to the Athletic Department in the name of the OU/TX Player of the Game, and $3,000 for scholarships to local students who join The PRIDE. We also provide additional funding for The Pride & OU Spirit Groups.

Academics, Scholarships & College Nights

Each year, the Club awards our $2,000/year Jack Williams, Jack McKinney and Paul and Judi Massad Scholarships to greater Dallas/North Texas area high school seniors who will be attending OU; this year thanks to our member's support we were able to again increase the number; in 2003 we did an all-time high of 8, this year we're giving 12! They are entirely funded from contributions by OU Club of Dallas members and proceeds from the annual Beat TX Weekend.

These scholarships are awarded on the basis of grades, ACT/SAT scores, high school and outside activities. Additional information on these scholarships are available by calling the Scholarship Chairman at 214/348-8652. Applications are mailed to all area Guidance Councelors each fall; if you are interested in applying for this scholarship, the application is available on this site. Click here for more information.

Club members also participate in College Nights at local high schools to assist in recruiting students to attend OU. These are held during two weeks in mid-September. Our responsibilities include distributing literature, answering questions, and signing up interested students for the Office of Prospective Student Services mailing list. If you are interested in volunteering an evening or two of your time and Really Giving Something Back to OU, please click here for more information.
