Founded on November 22nd, 1969, the Eta Mu chapter of Alpha Tau Omega was the first fraternity on campus after the university lifted its ban on Greek life. Our chapter has been growing its brotherhood and maintaining traditions ever since. ATO is known nationally as "America's Leadership Delevopment Fraternity." We currently have about 50 active brothers who are all majoring in various fields. We encourage this diversity because it makes us all more rounded as a whole. 

History

Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity was founded on September 11, 1865 to help heal the wounds of the North and South caused by the Civil War. ATO now ranks among the top 10 national fraternities for number of chapters and total number of members. We have in excess of 245 active and inactive chapters with more than 196,000 members and over 6,500 undergraduate members. ATO was founded by Otis Allan Glazebrook, Erskine Mayo Ross and Alfred Marshall at the Virginia Military Institute and was not established in imitation of or in opposition to any existing fraternity. ATO was founded upon brotherly love, with Christian principles, not Greek principles, as the cornerstones of the Fraternity. 

Values

ATO is proud of and committed to its Christian based values. We welcome members of all faiths and administer no rituals that would conflict with their inner beliefs; but we proudly trace our heritage to the Christian concept of brotherly love.
