About
Baylor University Fling is an event held every other year that began in 1983 by the late Dorothy Barfield Kronzer '44 as an opportunity for Baylor women––whether they be alumni, alumni by choice, parents, or friends of the University––to return to campus as a group, get reacquainted with former classmates, friends and roommmates, and share their Baylor memories. Through the years, speakers have discussed diverse subjects, including fine arts, drama, law, medicine, music, politics, and sports.
Beginning as a quality time for visiting and meaningful Homecoming event, Fling creates the perfect environment to infuse women's lives with thought-provoking conversation, a sense of empowerment and support, and fresh insights. With an appreciation of the different paths Baylor alumni pursue, Fling is a unique occasion to share knowledge and experiences with each other and to make connections strengthening individuals and communities around the globe.
"Fling is a great opportunity to connect in a meaningful way with other ladies that love Baylor. The speakers are relevant, entertaining and inspiring! As a Baylor alumna, I love coming back to campus to enjoy an event that is well-planned and most of all, FUN! I always wish that Fling was an annual event instead of every other." – Julie Lowe '92, Lubbock
"I attended my first Fling in 1987. The very best part has been attending Fling with family and friends who attended Baylor through the years and making new forever friends." – Diane Wimberly Danner '64, 2010 Fling Chair
