Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity at Florida State – Fall Rush 2011

I first came to florida state as a junior wasn’t really sure what i wanted to do and i ended up coming out to ato and uh you know the first night i came out i realized like this is the place for me i came to college didn’t really have any

Friends known from my high school in here and i found atl my freshman year and you know a group of guys we all just got together and we all clicked eto’s uh it’s a lifetime commitment a lifetime um experience a lifetime of memories you really learn how to become a leader and

Grow as a man and um just have these great group of friends and brothers for the rest of your life the most important part about a fraternity is the brotherhood the parties the girls the drinks all that other fun stuff will come but if you don’t love your brothers then

There’s really no point the great thing about ato is that our brotherhood is so strong kind of new to me that in you know one month i had friends that i thought were closer to me than i’d had friends for you know four years in high school i know i’m gonna be

Talking to them for you know 10 20 years from now like they’ll be in my wedding we won the brotherhood award this past semester because they’ve realized that we are pretty tight-knit friends brothers i’m excited about the legacy i’m going to pass on the guys that are coming up underneath

Me and how far they’re going to push off tommy greek life and rules is uh probably the fiercest competition as far as sporting activities i’ve ever been a part of it’s uh definitely one of the most fun to sit there and be a spectator for ato we’re very competitive in the garnet division

Of intramurals we’ve always done very well we’ve won a few sports and it’s just a blast to be apart you know what it yeah is screaming we like to have a good time at atl there’s no doubt about that the best part is walking into a bar and knowing

50 guys around you and having 50 of your best friends being right there and you honestly feel like you own the place with uh the ato or you know attorney tailgates it’s uh it’s definitely more about the social aspect you know meeting greeting different girls just all like kind of

You know having a good time together and uh all walking together to the game in a big group you know it’s a great experience if anybody’s worried about not having a good time with these guys um you know count that out right now an ato tradition it’s basically a

Week-long biking festival almost first night we all dress up like vikings you know we all eat with our hands we had a big roast out back last year your date dresses up as a viking you dress up and we’re just kind of barbaric you know

It’s a lot of fun the wall the pig roast the viking costumes carrying the dates and then we all you know marched across campus and stormed the bar and had a great time we basically have the biggest viking blowout in the panhandle florida without a doubt ato offers

A ton of involvement on campus whether it’s intramurals interacting with other greek life fraternities and sororities on campus foreign hi this is lee corso college football analyst for espn’s college game day i’m also a life loyal member of alpha to omega fraternity at florida state university the values and brotherhood i

Developed in this chapter have impacted every aspect of my life and career this fraternity so diverse there’s so many different kind of guys and we all come together to just form this great organization we offer the fun aspect of it we offer the brotherhood aspect of it and then we offer

Lifelong friends it’s not something you find every day it’s not something you find in every fraternity it’s the best choice i’ve ever made and um something i never regret and something that i’ll always treasure during these undergraduate years and for the rest of my life starts now you
