ALPHA TAU OMEGA • UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA-LINCOLN • FALL 2022
T
he men of Gamma Theta Chapter have started strong this semester,
taking full advantage of our first full semester without major COVID
restrictions. 2022 marks the 125th anniversary of our chapter, and the
brothers have represented ATΩ well and make the chapter proud.
ATΩ CONGRESS ACCOLADES
This summer, Max Dorfmeyer '20, Henry Thomsen '21, John Lamer
'20, and I traveled to Orlando for the ATΩ Congress. At the event, we
were awarded a scholarship award for our 3.1 spring GPA (which rests
above the UNL male average) and a True Merit Honorable Mention for
the third consecutive year.
KEEPING BUSY WITH BROTHERS AND ALUMNI
In the spring, we held a philanthropy event selling beef jerky, and in the
fall, we hosted the Tau Tacos event for the first time since before COVID.
Both events supported the Bryan Cancer Center. Our spring formal was
in St. Louis, where brothers enjoyed Mardi Gras, and our fall formal
was in Kansas City, where we enjoyed a Friday night Husker win and a
great time with the chapter the next day. In addition to our formals, we
hosted an alumni tailgate and parents formal and are excited to continue
developing relationships with alumni and keep parents involved in their
sons' ATΩ experience.
MEMBERSHIP NUMBERS
Gamma Theta recruited nine new members this spring and 32 for our
fall pledge class. These recruiting efforts have put total membership at
113 members.

O
ne of the most important tasks
we have as alumni is to work
together to support our brotherhood,
no matter how long ago you
graduated. The bonds of ATΩ are
everlasting and provided many of us
with lifelong friends. The men who
joined before us gave back to our
fraternity so we could experience all
our brotherhood has to offer at the
University of Nebraska.
Now is an excellent time to become
involved with the Board of Trustees
or become a mentor to chapter
actives. The present demands are modest, which will give new volunteers
an opportunity to slowly familiarize themselves with the organization and
each other.
How can I join the Board of Trustees?
The board is looking for any alumni interested in volunteering, but bonus
points if you live in or around the Omaha/Lincoln area to assist the board
or chapter in person.
How can I be a mentor?
Mentorship doesn't have to be a huge time commitment. You can serve
as an advisor, attend a Gamma
Theta Chapter meeting to share
job advice, or simply share your
email with undergraduates to be
a resource for those interested in
your field of work. No matter the
level of commitment, knowing
you're furthering the future of
our chapter and its members is
immeasurably rewarding.
If you're interested in giving
back to ATΩ, reach out to one of
the following trustees for more
