Chapter Update

By George Evagoras, Worthy Master 2010

Last fall was a very exciting time for all the brothers here at Alpha Tau Omega. Hopefully you were able to make it down to a game or two during the incredible football season. The house was vibrant and packed each game with brothers, friends, alumni, and especially parents.  We kicked off the fall semester with a huge alumni event hosted by the guys of the 1960s. Brothers helped them feel welcome back to the house and a handful of us were able to attend the alumni reception at night.  Seeing how many men in their 60s still care about the house was very special!

Next  we rolled onto our annual Hawaiian Weekend. Once again, we teamed up with GT H.E.R.Os and raised money for children with disabilities by hosting the ATO Hawaiian Weekend Volleyball Tournament. We were also able to give back to the homeless community of Atlanta by teaming up with the Alpha Xi Delta Sorority and make hundreds of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in an event we like to call “Hoagies for the Homeless”.  The 2009 executive board finished the year strong and the new members are excited about the transition into the new year.  

This spring holds a lot in store for our brothers as we continue to strive for, not only another True Merit Award, but the Best Chapter Award given out by ATO Nationals.  We will be looking forward to events such as a formal in Savannah, our annual Viking Party, and philanthropy events such as ATO Buzz Off and Relay for Life.
