Alpha Tau Omega
Imagine being part of a brotherhood of highly motivated and intelligent men who will
encourage you when you need it, carry you when times are tough, and build you up to
unleash your potential. "As iron sharpens iron," Alpha Tau Omega challenges you to
be better than you were yesterday.
Alpha Tau Omega is known as America's Leadership Development Fraternity because of
our strong emphasis on preparing our members to be leaders on their campus and in
the community. Over the past year, Alpha Tau Omega donated more than the equivalent
of $8.1 million to philanthropies and communities, holding true to the creed of Alpha
Tau Omega: “to have no narrower limits within which to work together for the elevation
of man than the outlines of the world.”
