As knights we’ll ever be…
In the fall of 1960, the idea of kidnapping the Freshman Class President sparked into the minds of seventeen sophomores planning to begin a new club. Needless to say, the kidnapping was successful, but something far more important came out of that group of men.
KΩT thrives on tradition, yet always believes in adding to it. Click below to learn more about the history of KΩT.

Palace of Joy
‘25-’26 Float:
“Creating the Palace of Joy was one of the most challenging yet rewarding experiences of my time at Baylor and as a KOT. The Chinese-inspired architecture — highlighted by its curved roofs, water features, and life-size dragon — showcased an incredible level of craftsmanship. With over 114,000 holes ‘pomped’ on the skirt, every KOT was able to take meaningful pride. After more than 300 hours of work and countless obstacles, lifelong friendships were formed. I’ll always remember the nights I could have spent sleeping but instead chose to create something that had never been done before.”
- Chase Knorr (Spring 2023), Float Chair
Result: 2nd Place
Night at the Exhibit
‘24-’25 Sing:
“Participating in Sing as a Penguin was filled with incredible memories and blessings. This year, we were fortunate to have 110 active members pour their energy into the act. The dedication each and every member expended to embody the character was so much fun to watch. It’s hard to put into words what happens in Waco Hall when every KΩT, whether on stage or in the crowd gives 110% for one another. I’ll always look back with gratitude and pride on my time as a Rag in Sing—especially as a Penguin.”

Reagan O’Bryan
2026-2027 Sweetheart
Kappa Omega Tau is proud to announce the sweetheart for the 2025–2026 school year—the wonderful Miss Reagan O’Bryan! Reagan is a senior from Newport Beach, California studying Apparel Merchandising with a minor in Entrepreneurship & Corporate Innovation, and is a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma—serving as both Director of Senior Experience and Sing Chair. She comes from a strong Baylor family, and her older brother was also a member of KΩT.
During her time at Baylor, Reagan has exemplified the standard of excellence that KΩT embodies. She has worked as a stylist for Baylor’s student-run magazine Trope, contributed in social media marketing for Sand + Fog, and excelled as a wholesale sales associate for AFA. Alongside these accomplishments, she has maintained a strong, faith-centered foundation as an active member of Highland Baptist Church. We are excited and truly humbled to have her serve as KΩT’s sweetheart this year and look forward to the leadership, encouragement, and energy she will bring to the men of KΩT throughout the year.
