Longhorn Sisters—and Scholarship Recipients—Featured in The Bellaire Buzz

The Meyerson sisters—Anna, Caroline, and Rachel—are serious Longhorn fans. So serious, in fact, that the press is taking notice.
The sisters, all current UT students, were recently highlighted in the Bellaire Buzz’s "Faithful Fans."
They're no strangers to orange blood: Alfie Meyerson, BA '81, JD '84, and Pauline Meyerson, BBA '81, Life Members, instilled Longhorn pride in their daughters from an early age—taking them to every Texas-OU football game for the last 25 years. "It's my greatest accomplishment in life," Rachel, a graduate student in educational psychology, told the Buzz. "I count in-womb."
Rachel earned a master's degree at Harvard before returning to the Forty Acres for a doctoral program. "I could go away just to the other best university in the world," she says, "but then I had to come back home."
Anna told the Buzz that one of her father's proudest moments was when she met Darrell K Royal by chance outside the stadium; Caroline, a freshman in Plan II honors and business honors, said "The Eyes of Texas" was her childhood lullaby.
Beyond school spirit, something else unites the Meyerson trio: academic prowess. Caroline is a recipient of the Forty Acres Scholarship, and Rachel, BA ’10, Life Member, won a Texas Excellence Award (the predecessor to the Forty Acres Scholarship). Anna, a senior majoring in elementary education, has also excelled academically.
