The A&M-Texarkana chapter won the Campus Involvement Award for participation and student leadership on campus and was one of three recipients of the Chapter Excellence Award, which is the highest honor bestowed upon a chapter.

Kim Ganado, a senior from Hope, Arkansas, was named National Brother of the Year for 2014-15.
