ALPHA TAU OMEGA • UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA-LINCOLN • FALL 2019
A
s a new decade of brotherhood fast
approaches, we are setting our sights
on what it will take to stay successful
in 2020 and beyond. As a board, we are
looking to:
• Establish an annual giving program to
sustain alumni communications, fund
alumni events, and aid in long-term
chapter house maintenance expenses.
• Establish additional scholarship
opportunities for undergraduate chapter
leaders.
• Cultivate a mentorship program that pairs
alumni with chapter members.
ANNUAL GIVING
The Board of Directors (BOD) plans to launch
an annual giving program in spring 2020, so
be on the lookout for how you can participate
during the inaugural year. Building on the
success of our capital campaign, we know our
alumni will see the value of supporting the
chapter in the years to come.
SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Identifying and developing leaders is an area
Gamma Theta is proud to call a strength.
By establishing additional scholarship
opportunities for these leaders, we will build
on the chapter's ability to make a difference
on campus and in the community. If you
have knowledge or interest in working with
the BOD and the UNL Foundation in the
development process for these scholarships,
please contact ATOnebraska@gmail.com.
MENTOR PROGRAM
Members of the BOD have connected with
other fraternity alumni groups that have
cultivated successful alumni mentoring
programs. We are grateful for this insight and
hope to have our own program established
soon. If you have interest in being a mentor,
please contact ATOnebraska@gmail.com.
ALUMNI VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Serving on the BOD doesn't require an
eastern Nebraska address—just a willingness
to participate. Virtual attendance at board
meetings on the phone or behind-the-scenes
work on committees are both ways to
volunteer. If you have knowledge, skills, time,
or just a heart to serve, email ATOnebraska@
gmail.com to find out how to volunteer.
CAPITAL CAMPAIGN PAYMENTS
While the capital campaign has ended, some
of you still have future pledge installments.
Please remember to be diligent in paying your
remaining pledge balance. If you missed a
payment, need a reminder resent, or have a
question about your pledge, please contact
our campaign coordinator at (785) 843-1661.
Contributions can still be made online at
atonebraska.org/campaign or you can mail a
check to Gamma Theta, P.O. Box 401, Elkhorn,
NE 68022.
Love and Respect,
Gamma Theta Board of Trustees
