ATΩ Brothers Demonstrate What It Means to Be Men of True Merit at UF B eing from out of state and not knowing much about Greek Life in general, I can definitely say I found a great place with spectacular men here at ATΩ. Alpha Omega Accolades Our Chapter is filled with many different personalities, involvement in various activi- ties, and a variety of academic paths. We are proud to announce that we won our third- straight True Merit Award at the Virtual Alpha Tau Omega National Congress. Our Chapter also had an overall GPA of 3.23 last year. Keeping the Brotherhood Safe and Strong COVID-19 has taken its toll on everyone in many different ways, but we are working together to make this another great and successful year. We organized a plan this sum- mer to keep our house running in the safest manner possible. I look forward to a sensa- tional senior year, and I am excited to carry on our undergraduate-alumni relations. Love and Respect, Dominick Macolino '17 Worthy Master dmacolino57@gmail.com
