This was deleted via PROD many years ago but has since been restored; it still seems to fall far short of notability. The sources in the article are not sufficient to meet WP:NORG, and a WP:BEFORE search finds only trivial mentions and unreliable sources. A redirect to University of Texas at Austin might be a possible alternative to deletion, but this minor organization isn't mentioned in the article's body (and including it would likely be undue given the lack of sourcing).

- Redirect - to UT-Austin. No mention in the Handbook of Texas Online, but that source does say that as of 2001, UT-Austin had twenty-five fraternities and fourteen sororities chapters, and lists some of the more notable ones. Texas Iron Spikes are not mentioned. Source. Texas A & M University has a chapter of the Iron Spikes, but like the UT-Austin chapter, the only links I find on the web are their own social media sites. — Maile ( talk) 01:47, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

- Delete No SIGCOV, not even in the Austin American-Statesman archives. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 05:41, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. There does not appear to be significant coverage in WP:RS. Even if there were, the article is written like a PR piece and WP:TNT would presumably apply. -- Kinu t/ c 21:25, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
- College puffery. Do not make a redirect. DGG ( talk ) 06:56, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
