    Angelo State University History

    Angelo State University was originally founded as San Angelo College in 1928 and was originally part of the city’s school system and only a two-year college. The first building on today’s campus was constructed in 1947. It was dubbed Angelo State College in 1965 through an act of the Texas Legislature and governorship was given to a Board of Regents. The first bachelor’s degrees were conferred in 1967. Designated as a member of the Texas State University system in 1975, Angelo State joined the likes of Sam Houston State and Southwest Texas State (now named simply Texas State University in San Marcos).

    Angelo State University is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Its mission statement says in part that it seeks “to provide students with a basis for making sound decisions and mature judgments which depend upon an understanding of the social, scientific, literary, artistic, political, and philosophical traditions of many cultures…” It is classed as a Master’s College and University I by the Carnegie Institute.

A separate application form is required.

    Angelo State University Students

    While San Angelo, Texas may seem disconnected geographically from its larger, more cosmopolitan counterparts, Angelo State ensures that students have more than enough to occupy their lives outside of class. There is a robust intramural program, a flourishing theater program that welcomes any and all students regardless of experience, and dozens of student organizations and clubs. The Greek community is small by some standards: three fraternities and two sororities. But the Greeks make up a significant portion of the campus and provide a good deal of charitable work and social welfare for the entire campus. There are a variety of residence options for students of varying levels, the most prominent of which are the High Rise dormitories. At ten stories tall, they are one of the first sights that any visitors to San Angelo glimpse on the horizon. The High Rise style dormitories, along with the centralized cafeteria, are an excellent system for freshman to meet and make new friends.

    Student life at Angelo State University includes opportunities in a diverse range of activities and organizations. There are honor societies, a choral group, fraternities and sororities, a black students’ organization, various groups related to particular areas of study, political groups, and other organizations. Students can take part in various intramural sports, including martial arts, volleyball, badminton, golf, and Ultimate Frisbee. There are multiple computer labs, and the library has a variety of electronic and print resources available. The University has a student life office and provides a number of various support services for students, including personal counseling, judicial services, and health services.

    Angelo State University Traditions

    Angelo State has a vibrant Homecoming tradition, with a week of fun activities for all students. Perhaps the most memorable is the Bonfire, which has been held on an empty, undeveloped lot just across campus. The Bonfire activities actually last the whole week, with students participating in the acquisition of Bonfire materials. The Greek community provides “security” each night by taking turns guarding the Bonfire from premature ignition by students of other schools, something that has occurred enough times to necessitate such guardianship. When it is lit, the Bonfire is perhaps the most brilliant sight for miles, given the flatness of San Angelo and its surrounding landscape.

    Angelo State University Local Community

    San Angelo may seem at first glance like an unattractive option for students who want a lot of activity in their lives. Nothing could be further from the truth. The majority of days are graced with pleasant weather. At the same time, students are exposed to just enough snow during the winter and just enough heat during the summer to help them appreciate the rest of the year. The town has a fun historic district with several restaurants, interesting shops, and the Cactus Hotel, a renovated old building with a jazz club at the top. Lake Nasworthy provides a good deal of recreation, as do the several parks surrounding it. Visitors may choose to take a dip, or simply hang out and barbecue or play volleyball. Many Angelo State students wile away their afternoons and weekends at the Lake with their friends. San Angelo recently constructed an impressive new art museum alongside its Concho River riverwalk, a nice facility for hikers, bikers, and skaters alike.

    Angelo State University is located in San Angelo, Texas, which has a population of approximately 100,000. The surrounding West Texas environment is largely rural. Near-by attractions include fishing and boating, an annual rodeo, art galleries, the San Angelo Symphony, and the Fiesta Del Concho.

    Under traditions, you say that the "greek community" provides "security" and that the student body provides materials for the bonfire. In fact, the Air Force ROTC detachment, AF ROTC Det. 847, designs, builds, protects, and eventually burns the bonfire. In 2002, the fans/students from the school we played for homecoming burned the bonfire (what would have been the largest in school history) the Tuesday before the Homecoming football game. By the time the bonfire was scheduled to be burned Friday night, the ROTC detachment (with help from the local community) was able to rebuild the bonfire higher than it had been the previous year.
