Open Letter from The Chapter President
Dear friends, family, brothers, potential brothers, and guests,
(2010 President Caleb Hornsby) (Brothers & Dates During Fall Alumni Banquet)
Welcome to the Epsilon Sigma chapter of Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity at Florida State University. Any and all information you need about our chapter is available to you here by simply clicking on any one of the above tabs. In particular, we encourage all interested Rushees to check out our "Rush Alpha Tau Omega!" tab above.
Alpha Tau Omega is one of the most successful and storied fraternities at FSU and, indeed, around the country. As a leadership fraternity founded on the Christian principles of love and respect, we maintain excellence from year to year. Last
year our chapter enjoyed much success winning Homecoming and Greek Week
while placing 2nd overall in our IM division and 2nd in all fraternity
philanthropies. This summer ATO at FSU swept national chapter awards
winning the "Recruitment of Excellence", "Financial Management", "Summer
Recruitment", and "Upper Alpha" awards while taking the "True Merit"
Honorable Mention for best ATO chapter in the United States.
Our Brothers are involved in countless student organizations, as we strive to become better leaders. These organizations include membership to Student Government, Senate, Supreme Court, Student Boosters, College Republicans, College Democrats, FSU Law and Medical Schools, as well as numerous other leadership activities.
We are an athletic fraternity placing 2nd overall in our IM division this year. Our brothers play for several FSU NCAA teams including the FSU football, lacrosse, rugby, and hockey teams as well as a multitude of sport clubs including baseball, surf, wakeboarding, and mountain biking (see the "History" tab above).
We are involved throughout the community as well. From interning in the capital, to tutoring small children, to working with the Boys and Girls Club of America, every one of our brothers strives to give back to the community. With hopes to leave both FSU and Tallahassee better than it was when they arrived.
Here at Alpha Tau Omega we live by a saying of a rather renowned Alumnus Skip Smith: “we do not apologize for having high standards.” Our Fraternity is for a lifetime and our substantial Alumni go to show that even after your glory years in college, your life as an ATΩ is never ending. The brothers from your chapter will become some of your best friends, best men, and even brother-in-laws.
I hope this website serves to give you a good idea of what Alpha Tau Omega means to our brothers and alumni and hopefully one day will mean to you. As we look forward to our upcoming years, we strive for absolute excellence.
Best,
Caleb Hornsby
FSU President of ATΩ
