Welcome Back, Showgirls

Fifty Years of Purple & Pride

For half a century, TCU Showgirls have brought spirit, style, and sisterhood to Horned Frog football. This October, we're bringing generations of alumni back to Fort Worth to celebrate five decades of legacy — with a Frog Fest parade, an alumni performance at halftime, and a 50th Anniversary Celebration Brunch. Here's everything you need to plan your weekend.
