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.”

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.”

Tyler Truss
Fall 2026 President
We are excited to announce Tyler Truss as our President for the Fall 2026 semester! Tyler is a senior from Austin, Texas, pursuing a major in Entrepreneurship with a minor in Religion, and is on track to graduate a semester early in December 2026. Since being initiated in the Spring of 2024, Tyler has served as Rush Chair (Spring '25) and Social Chair (Fall '25).
Outside of his involvement with KΩT, Tyler is a member of Highland Baptist Church and is deeply involved in ministry across campus through Student Mobilization. The summer after his junior year, he dedicated nine weeks to StuMo's discipleship program to grow in his faith and develop as a leader. Tyler has also gained valuable professional experience as a supply chain analyst at ABC Supply and as a sales representative at Insurors of Texas.
Within KΩT, Tyler has shown exceptional dedication to the men of the club — serving on the float team for the 2025 Santa Claws Workshop, giving many hours to the rush committee in the fall of 2025, and serving on the chaplains committee, where he helped lead worship nights and have monthly meetings praying for the club As President, Tyler hopes to build servant-hearted leaders who aim to put others before themselves. We are incredibly grateful for Tyler and look forward to seeing his leadership in action this fall!

2026-2027 Sweetheart
Kappa Omega Tau is proud to announce the sweetheart for the 2026–2027 school year—the wonderful Miss Reagan O’Bryan!
