A
nticipation has been one
of the primary themes
on campus at the University
of Texas in 2014. As the
new school year begins, we
are beginning to see these
anticipated changes take effect,
both on the football field and
with the Gamma Eta Chapter.
Specifically, Alpha Tau Omega
has seen sustained growth in the
number and quality of young
men joining our brotherhood.
A successful recruitment has concluded with the
introduction of a 36-man pledge class to Gamma Eta. With
the addition of this class, the number of undergraduate
members will be brought to 116 total members, making
Alpha Tau Omega one of the largest and most competitive
fraternities on campus.
In July, Gamma Eta was recognized once again at
ATΩ Congress in Orlando. The undergraduate chapter
received two excellence awards for philanthropy and
scholarship. In addition to these awards, they also
received honorable mention for the True Merit Award—
one of the national fraternity's top honors—for the third
straight year. The Board of Trustees was also presented
the Upper Alpha award for its support and service to
the undergraduate chapter.
In an effort to maintain this support, there
will be some forthcoming changes taking
place with the board of trustees. Due to
relocation from the Austin area, I will be
stepping down as the chairman at the end of
the fall semester after three years of service.
Active alumni participation in the board of
trustees is vital to ensuring the continued
success of Gamma Eta and is strictly
voluntary. I want to encourage any brothers
interested in serving the undergraduate
chapter to contact me directly at gerp@
utexas.edu. I am excited about the direction
of the fraternity and the promising initiatives currently in the works.
Thank you for your support and consideration over the past few
years.
