Alpha Tau Omega - University of North Dakota

U pon graduating from the University of North Dakota, we all leave ATW with high hopes of keeping our brotherhood close to our hearts. Unfortunately, we quickly find that many new inter- ests—careers, families, and civic activ- ities—can create valid diversions. e day-to-day activities of life take over and, before long, we fall out of touch and begin to wonder what happened to our brothers. Without a solid alumni re- lations program in place, our members lack the means for staying connected to the fraternity. Since rechartering in 2013, the Delta Nu Chapter of Alpha Tau Omega under- graduate members have worked to build a positive campus reputation and strong character leading to our success today. With this in mind, our new annu- al alumni relations program is de- signed to help reconnect alumni to the new generation of Delta Nu members. We want our brothers to stay in touch and to cultivate awareness and involvement in Alpha Tau Omega at UND. ere are several elements that are key to the program's success. We will mail two newsletters each year con- taining alumni news, information on upcom- ing events, reports on various chapter activ- ities, and current lists of undergraduate and alumni officers. Once a year, will we send out a biographical update that allows alumni to update the infor- mation we have on record. In fact, many of you have received this mailing already! Altogeth- er, the updates are a vital tool in maintaining our records and our ties with one another. We are always interested in hear- ing from you, so if you have any suggestions, alumni news, or ideas for articles, please submit them to our alumni relations chairman, Aaron Kreps '20, at aaron.kreps@und.edu. We would like to extend a special welcome to recent graduates as they transition to alumni. ank you for the time and dedication you have shown to Delta Nu during your collegiate experience. ere are many opportunities to be involved as an alumnus.
