While in college, [we] help you keep your compass straight, develop your values-set and experiences, and point you in a great direction for your future. Then, with our history and your experience, your journey in life seems a little clearer. Kappa Alpha Order
Alpha Tau omega Creed • To bind men together in a brotherhood based upon eternal and immutable principles with a bond as strong as right itself and as lasting as humanity; to know no North, no South, no East, no West, but to know man as man; to teach that true men the world over should stand together and contend for supremacy of good over evil; to teach not politics but morals; to foster not partisanship but the recognition of true merit wherever found; to have no narrower limits within which to work together for the elevation of man than the outlines of the world; these were the thoughts and hopes uppermost in the minds of the founders of the Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity.
