History The Alpha Rho chapter of Alpha Phi Omega is currently in possession of the World's Three Largest Texas Flags. Each flag is used during different events. However, there have been a total of five Texas Flags throughout APO's history. The original flag was given to Texas Governor Price Daniel by Mississippi Governor Ross R. Barnett during the halftime show of the 1962 Cotton Bowl (after which Texas beat Ole Miss 12-7). The flag was meant as a gesture of southern hospitality from the citizens of Mississippi to the citizens of Texas. Governor Daniel later gave the flag to the Longhorn Band. The band later, however, returned the flag to the university where it eventually made its way to the Men's Athletic Department. The next football season, APO was asked to run the flag and the first APO Flag Run was at the Thanksgiving Day game in 1962 against Texas A&M. The original World's Largest Texas Flag measured 51 feet by 90 feet. The second World's Largest Texas Flag was made and came into APO's possession around 1966; records regarding this flag have not survived. In politics, Governor of Texas is the title given to the chief executive of the state of Texas. ...
