Tau Epsilon Chi, more commonly known as TEX (read "Techs"), is a Jewish High School sorority founded in 1921. The sorority conducts and attends many events in conjunction with Sigma Alpha Rho (SAR) Jewish High School fraternity ( [http://www.sarfraternity.org SAR website)] .
History
TEX began when a group of eight girls formed a social club in 1921. The new Tau Epsilon Chi Sorority gained its charter in 1934.
Today TEX has been revitalized once again with the help of Sigma Alpha Rho (SAR). Chapters and/or training groups exist in several areas including the southern part of New Jersey and Philadelphia suburbs, led by a group in Voorhees, New Jersey.
The Supreme Exalted Ruler (President) of SAR has helped organize new groups by collecting information via both SAR and TEX alumni.
Organization
Sisters can be elected to any position in their chapters and run any events that they choose, in addition to attending events organized by other chapters or by SAR.
Every chapter has officers that include, but are not limited to President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer.
