Why Rush Alpha Tau Omega?

1. ATO has more than 140 chapters nationwide, more than 6,500 undergraduate members and 196,000 initiated members. Our undergraduate leadership development programs are unmatched nationally as ATO has earned the distinction of being America's Leadership Development Fraternity.

2. The ATO Foundation provides more than $150,000 in annual scholarships to members-including scholarships to attend the LeaderShape Institute, Inc.

3. Today, the heritage of ATO, including The Creed of Alpha Tau Omega, and the Christian principles upon which ATO was founded are as relevant as ever.

4. With a number of programs from the Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity, an undergraduate member is offered an opportunity unlike anything else in the Greek world. As the creator of The LeaderShape Institute, our purpose was to improve campus leadership. Now as its own entity, The LeaderShape Institute serves young adults representing a wide variety of organizations throughout the United States. To date, over 20,000 participants from colleges, universities, and corporations from across the country have attended The LeaderShape Institute. ATO is also extending the reach of LeaderShape through the Chapter-Based LeaderShape initiative where more ATOs from one chapter will be able to participate.

5. Alpha Tau Omega is a participating member in the National Interfraternity Conference, the Fraternity Executives Association, the College Fraternity Editors Association, the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education, FIPG, Inc., and the Fraternal Risk Management Trust.

6. BECOME A LIFE LOYAL TAU!
