watching Hurricane Ike

Hurricane Ike is expected to make landfall tonight near Galveston, Texas and have widespread effects. 

Our collegiate Alpha Chi chapters in Houston are at Univ of Houston and at Houston Baptist. UH closed Thurs at 5pm through at least Sunday – www.uh.edu and HBU closed at 3:30pm yesterday, also thru Sunday. Other area AXO chapters: In Huntsville, TX (just north of Houston), Sam Houston State Univ is closed (and Parents Weekend is cancelled; www.shsu.edu) as is Texas A&M in College Station (an hour NW of Houston; www.tamu.edu). Stephen F. Austin State Univ (in Nacogdoches, TX) will close at noon today. It’s in eastern TX, not near the coast. Lamar, in Beaumont, TX (on the TX/LA border; www.lamar.edu) closed yesterday and plans to reopen on Monday. Beaumont is very close to the Gulf and at high risk for flooding. 

Will post updates as they are available.
