Alumni Chapter: Chicago
This is the first in a series of visits with regional TCU alumni chapters and clubs.
With events that invite alumni to gather in iconic Windy City locations and young, energetic leadership, the TCU Chicago Alumni Chapter has seen steady growth in recent years.

“Every year, more and more young alums end up coming to Chicago from TCU. The spotlight’s getting bigger on Chicago,” said Austin Flanagan ’22, immediate past chapter president. “That’s kind of what I’m proud of, just being able to do it with people that I consider my closest friends. … It’s the power of what happens when you put TCU minds together — great things happen.”

“The Cubs game is definitely the most anticipated event,” said Stone Metz ’22, current co-president, “and it’s definitely the most fun.”
