On March 14, 2009, members of Alpha Tau Omega rallied together to support the 2009 Special Olympics. Proudly wearing their letters and flashing encouraging posters to the women basketball players, the Taus showed DePauw what true spirit is. As ATO led cheers and provided halftime pyramid entertainment, other members volunteered by making inspiring posters and the tremendous sheet banner, keeping stats or announcing the games that were held at DePauw’s indoor tennis and track facility. While the greater Greek community showed its philanthropic spirit, Alpha Tau Omega truly stood out among the rest. Above is a picture of one of our cheering groups.

Neighbors chip in to replace aging sidewalks
Friday, September 19, 2008
New sidewalks have been installed on Seminary St. in Greencastle following a neighborhood agreement.
The sidewalk project began once Paul Wright, house director at the Alpha Tau Omega independently began curb replacement. Once neighbors Dave Murray and Neal Abraham saw this they began a campaign of their own.
“After we talked with Paul Wright, we were inspired,” said Abraham. “We first went to all our neighbors to ask them if they would be willing to chip in to fix the sidewalks in front of their homes.”
