Alpha Tau Omega is a fraternity at the University of South Alabama that emphasizes a value-based approach. The focus on personal growth, academic excellence, and character are vital parts of our brotherhood. The brotherhood of ATO forms lifelong friendships and professional connections. In addition, our commitment to giving back allows members opportunities to make a positive impact on communities.
Our 4th annual donation campaign for Feeding The Gulf Coast will consist of an entire week of activities providing hundreds of meals for the needy. We are hosting various events such as Egg-a-Tau (people will be able to donate to throw eggs at brothers) and Taug-of-War (groups will be able to form teams and play Mud Tug of War). Partnering with Feeding the Gulf Coast for the last 3 years helped us realize how much of an impact we could make for the needy by coming together as a brotherhood and putting ourselves second.
