Jaguar Spotlight

Texas A&M-San Antonio hosts Ring Days every semester; this is an opportunity for Jaguars with 60+ credits to receive their ring as they step on the University Seal surrounded by their loved ones. 

David Mantiply, the Administrative Coordinator for New Student Programs and A&M-SA Alum, reflected on his Ring Ceremony recently. “Receiving my ring was a big deal to me. It was a reminder of not only my hard work and sacrifice but also a reminder that I wasn’t alone in my academic journey. Ring days are special to all of us here on campus, and sharing this milestone with family and friends is a memory that will last forever. I would not have been able to have these memories if it weren’t for the help I received when purchasing my ring, which is why I have decided to pay it forward,”  said Mantiply.

Mantiply was a transfer student who joined the Delta Chi Chapter at A&M-SA, founded in 2018. Following graduation, he became a full-time staff member on campus. He has had the opportunity to continue connecting with his fraternity's new classes and was inspired to help them with their own ring purchases. 

He will be spending the month of August fundraising for a Ring Scholarship for one of his fellow Delta Chi brothers to have a Herf Jones graduation ring.

To fundraise and honor Delta Chi Founder's Week (October 9th-15th), Mantiply will be dying his hair one of the five main colors. His choice of hair color will be determined based on a voting poll (($1= 1 vote); the colors are Red, Buff (Blonde), Maroon, Silver, and Black.

You can vote as many times as you would like, and a winner will be announced on the 27th of August.
