Its a best of 5 game for dodgeball series. Out of 10 fraternities, the championship came down to the 2 ATO teams. ATO team 2 had only one loss during the season, which they lost 3-2 due to an injury, but beat them 3-0 in the first round of playoffs. ATO team 1 had 2 losses under its belt and had just had a victory over Sig Eps after being down 2-0 in the series came back 3-0 to win it and take them to the championship. ATO team 1 ended up taking ATO team 2 in the 5th game of the series and it was a very close game and good sportsmanship and athleticism all around.

Recent Philanthropy

ATO is very involved on campus and participates in a lot of philanthropy events.

ATO & DZ

The most recent events we have participated in was Greek Week 2007! ATO was paired up with the lovely sorority Delta Zeta. We got to know them really well over the few weeks of hard practice for greek games, especially airband. While taking 3rd place in tug of war, 2nd place in tug of war, and doing well in other greek games ATO and DZ were in a 3 way tie heading into airband. We practiced hard for weeks and we didn't place well, we feel like we deserved better but we were still happy we got to know the girls really well.

The Creed of Alpha Tau Omega

To bind men together in a brotherhood based upon eternal and immutable principles, with a bond as strong as right itself, and as lasting as humanity; to know no north, no south, no east, no west, but to know man as man, to teach that true men the world over should stand together and contend for supremacy of good over evil; to teach not politics, but morals; to foster not partisanship, but the recognition of true merit wherever found; to have no narrower limits within which to work together for the elevation of man than the outlines of the world; these were the thoughts and hopes uppermost in the minds of the founders of the Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity. - Otis Allan Glazebrook 1880.
