World's Largest Texas Flag

The World's Largest Texas Flag is a Texas flag used by the stadium handlers of the Alpha Rho chapter of Alpha Phi Omega (ΑΦΩ or APO), a national co-ed service fraternity, at the University of Texas at Austin in displays at football pre-game shows, at pep rallies, or for other purposes.

The newest incarnation of the Field Flag was purchased in July 2007.

A smaller flag is used for pep rallies, Forty Acres Fest and other special events that take place in front of the university's Main Building.

The original flag was given to Texas governor Price Daniel by Mississippi governor Ross Barnett during the halftime show of the 1962 Cotton Bowl (after which Texas beat Ole Miss 12-7).

The band later, however, returned the flag to the university where it eventually made its way to the men's athletic department.
