Founders

Hi y'all! I'm Kloe, and this is my first year at UT! No one tells you that, as a junior transfer student, it can be hard to find your group. I went through recruitment for different spirit orgs, and at times, I thought I had made genuine connections throughout the process. I was disappointed to find out that I didn't move forward in recruitment despite making connections with current members, attending events, and putting myself out there.

I started to wonder if I had made a mistake by transferring. But then I realized I wasn't the only one. Every single lovely girl I met during recruitment was in the same position. That's when I decided I wanted to start an org that genuinely values authenticity rather than trying to fit everyone into a mold.

I started Texas Babes for the girls who transferred in, the ones who have gone through recruitment multiple times in hopes of finding a home, and those who simply want to make more friends. Texas Babes is a welcoming org for everyone, and I cannot wait for all of the fun social, service, and spirit events we have planned for the spring!

Hey y'all!! My name is Elena Martinez, and I'm from Plano, TX! I'm a sophomore studying International Relations and Global Studies (HMU for anything IRG )!! I'm currently the Recruitment Chair and a co-founder of Texas Babes!!

My friends and I started Texas Babes because we wanted to create a community where girls can connect, build genuine friendships, support one another, and make the most of their college experience! We wanted to create something that brings girls together, makes everyone feel welcome, and gives us all a space to grow, make memories, and meet people who will turn into lifelong friends!

I'm SO excited to grow this organization and see what we can build together!! Please reach out if you have any questions, want to learn more about Texas Babes, or just want to chat! I'd love to meet anyone and everyone, and I can't wait to see where this new chapter takes us!!
