Texas State Greek life absence noted at home football games
Summary

Texas State's fraternities have been largely absent from the university’s football home games in 2026, including the Pac-12 opener against Colorado State. This is attributed to a dispute over changes to the tailgating experience, specifically the introduction of Boko's Backyard, which has altered the traditional setup. While some see the new location as limiting their freedom, Texas State administration asserts it aims to enhance the game day atmosphere. The university has begun offering incentives, including a $1,500 prize for the Greek life chapter with the highest attendance for Thursday's game, in an effort to boost student turnout.
