USU Greek’s Newest Fraternity Colonizing


After many years, Utah State University Greeks is pleased to have a new Fraternity on campus.  


Alpha Tau Omega
            These fraternity members are often called “ATOs” or “Alpha Taus” and were founded 146 years ago on September 11, 1865 at Virginia Military Institute. Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity has more than 250 active and inactive chapters, with over 204,000 initiates nationwide.

            Students at Utah State University chose to bring Alpha Tau Omega to the USU campus because they were looking for a different kind of brotherhood that they hadn’t found anywhere else. One of their members, Jarvis Pace stated, “Bringing ATO to campus has been an experience, but even though it [ATO] has encountered some obstacles along the way, ATO has stayed because of the brotherhood that was found among its members.”

                  With Alpha Tau Omega being a new fraternity addition to the Utah State University campus, it provides one more option for the men and incoming freshman at USU to consider when choosing to Go Greek. Alpha Tau Omega provides all the same things that you can find in all the other fraternities on campus; brotherhood, friendship, networking, involvement, service, and more. For Jarvis Pace it provided him “the opportunity to belong to something greater than myself and to leave my mark on USU as a founding father of this organization.”

          The colonization of Alpha Tau Omega at Utah State University is scheduled to take place on Friday, September 14th.  If you are interested in getting involved in Alpha Tau Omega, they will be on campus for 6 weeks starting the middle of August recruiting and answering questions.


           Alpha Tau Omega will join other Utah State Fraternities [Sigma Chi, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Delta Sigma Phi, and Psi Sigma Phi] at the Men’s Recruitment BBQ that will be on Tuesday, September 4th at 6:00 pm on the TSC patio.
