Alpha Tau Omega began at <strong>Virginia</strong> Military<br />

Institute in 1865. It was the first fraternity<br />

established after the Civil War and the first<br />

fraternity founded as a national fraternity.<br />

ATO was based on Christian values, not<br />

Greek mythology; its purpose was <strong>to</strong> heal the<br />

wounds created by the Civil War. ATO does<br />

not discriminate based upon religion.<br />

<strong>Virginia</strong> <strong>Tech</strong>’s ATO chapter believes in<br />

strong brotherhood ties and developing<br />

great leadership abilities. ATO participates<br />

in many activities, Greek and non-Greek, including parties, socials, dances, community<br />

service, philanthropies, and many different sporting events. The <strong>Virginia</strong> <strong>Tech</strong> chapter even<br />

takes trips <strong>to</strong> visit other ATO chapters around the country every semester.
