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.
