MU ATO = Marshall University Alpha Tau Omega

Like my buddy MUTeke I too started posting I the old MU message boards in the late 90s and just kept using MU ATO to his day. I always knew I would rush when I got into college. I always liked what I saw at U of Illinois when I was there and had family members that told stories and older friends that were Greek. So it was a no brainer. I rushed in Fall of '98 and was active through 2002 before going on alumni status. I was Vice President and actually was voted President but I refused to move into the house and do was voted VP by default. Some of the best times of my life were with ATO brothers or directly involved in Fraternty activities. 3 of my groomsmen in my wedding were Fraternity Brothers. My only regret was that Marshall didn't have solid Greek Leadership that I saw at other schools and for this Marshall Greek life took a hit in the early 2000s and things could of been handled much better but it was what it was.

ATO and out next door neighbors the Tekes used to have legendary parties together. "Alpha Teke Omega" tailgate parties on GAMEDAY were spectacular! Back in the late 90s/early 2000s 95% of our games started at 7pm so we would start "tailgating at the house around 10am. So many people you could t even see the front yards.
