Our Purpose and A Brief Overview Welcome to the official hompepage of the Alpha Tau (Austin, Texas) Chapter of Tri-Ess. We are a Central Texas-based chapter of Tri-Ess; a non-profit, support and social organization for heterosexual crossdressers, their families and friends. We hold monthly meetings at a secure location here in Austin, on the 4th Saturday of each month. An in-person preliminary screening interview with 2 of our members is required prior to attending a meeting. Membership in Alpha Tau further requires membership in Tri-Ess national. Apart from offering support for it's chapter's members, Tri-Ess also publishes a quarterly, professional magazine for it's members, The Mirror, as well as an annual directory of the international membership. Our local chapter hosts a variety of programs for it's members; including presentations from Transgender Community leaders and helping professionals, make-over and fashion presentations and seminars, dinners out (for those who are comfortable) at local TG-friendly restaurants, as well as functions with other local area support organizations. In addition we sometimes have non-dress-up dinners at local restaurants or at members homes. Additionally, Alpha Tau has a group on Yahoo at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Alpha_Tau_Austin which covers current chapter news, upcoming meeting and program information, articles from our members, local and national event schedule information and info about TG-friendly businesses and professionals. Last year Alpha Tau was named by the national organization as a FLAGSHIP CHAPTER. More details are available on our News page.
