Official Texas Tech Class RingHistory

Since 1999, Texas Tech had one universal symbol of academic achievement—The Official Texas Tech Class Ring

The single ring is a tradition that has been brought back

from the 1950s This ring evokes special memories of the

occasions and traditions of Texas Tech, the “Fight Song” sung

at the stadium with the Masked Rider leading our the team

Raider Red giving fans the “Guns Up” and firing his shotguns

The unforgettable images created during the Carol of Lights

where the red, white and gold holiday lights cast their spell

over the campus The ring is a symbolic, continuous link

with classmates, friends and generations of alumni It is an

opportunity for alumni to bear their banner wherever they go

Our unique ring design is reserved exclusively for individuals

who have successfully met the university’s standards Designed

by a group of Texas Tech students, alumni and administrators,

the ring will remain unchanged into the university’s future As

a symbol of Texas Tech tradition, it is instantly recognizable—a

tangible connection for those who are graduating, while the visual continuity will generate an exclusive link with graduates

in years to come Those able to wear the ring proudly state to others, “I am a person of honor, a Texas Tech graduate—a Red Raider for life!” For the graduates and their peers, it holds a whole world of meaning

Ring Components

Each ring symbolically captures the essence of Texas Tech with the prominent Double T standing proud, surrounded by the university’s full name and date of foundation On one shoulder of the ring, you will find the Administration Building, with the bells that represent victory On the other shoulder is the university seal Of course, the ring would not be complete without the appearance of the Masked Rider!

Inside, each official ring is forged with STRIVE FOR HONOR This inscription is from “The Matador Song” and serves as

a charge to every Texas Tech graduate to excel with integrity in all endeavors The ring is engraved with the recipient’s initials, degree and class year

Official Texas Tech Ring Savings Program

The Texas Tech Alumni Association is proud to offer the Official Texas Tech Class Ring Savings Program, which allows students to save over time for the ultimate symbol of college success With the Ring Savings Program, a refundable $75

is conveniently added as an optional fee to tuition and fee statements for spring and fall semesters beginning as early as freshman year Students can do this easily through raiderlink.ttu.edu Once students meet eligibility, the saved amount can then be applied toward the purchase of the Official Texas Tech Class Ring
