brotherhood dinner hosted at the historic Colonnade Club on the lawn.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThe dinner hosted over 40 brothers and guests as well as seven active brothers. As dessert was served our current Worthy Master, Garrett Mcquain, welcomed the group and each active brother introduced themselves. The night continued with multiple brothers speaking in memory of two recently passed brothers Leigh Middleditch and Jack Horn, who were both influential in the brotherhood and in the Charlottesville community. The night was closed out with an update on the Capital Campaign and a classic 60s story from Tom Wood. You will have to ask him about it if you want to hear more!<\/p>\n
After one final drink in the front parlor of the Colonnade Club all headed to 125 Chancellor for the traditional ATO Bash. 60s music was played and brothers from all ages bonded. The weekend came to a close with the UVA vs Georgia Tech football game. The Hoos held off a comeback and pulled out a win on a brisk fall night, 48-40. Many thanks to Bob Harell who planned the majority of the weekend.<\/p>\n

A note from Worthy Master, Garrett McQuain \u02bc21<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nGreetings Alumni,<\/p>\n
This past semester has been a fantastic one for the Delta Chapter of Alpha Tau Omega. The busy fall semester challenged the brotherhood to balance Recruitment, Social, Brotherhood, and Academics, and I\u2019m proud to say that we navigated our first semester back from Covid-19 as effectively as we always have.<\/p>\n
At the Alpha Tau Omega National Awards Convention this August, the fraternity was honored to receive both the Upper Alpha Award, as well as a true merit honorable mention. Additionally, AT\u03a9 was ranked fifth in academics out of the entire UVA Greek Community with an average GPA of 3.77.<\/p>\n
We are very excited to continue a 153-year-old tradition of excellence within the Delta chapter, and are looking forward to keystone events in the spring of 2022 such as Rush, Taus For Paws, and Foxfield. Although it will be bittersweet for our graduating Beta Alpha pledge class, we are so excited to break ground on the new house that is coming as a result of our Capital Campaign this May. This renovation will mark the beginning of a new chapter in the already strong history of our Fraternity, and we look forward to seeing our brothers, current and future, use this house for years to come.<\/p>\n
Sincerely,
\nGarrett McQuain
\nWorthy Master (\u02bc21)<\/p>\n

A note from the Board of Trustees Chairman, Mike Bray \u02bc10<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nAs we approach the exciting completion of our Capital Campaign and begin the renovation and expansion of our home at 125 Chancellor Street to strengthen our physical presence on Grounds, so too must we strengthen our organization. The Board of Trustees (BOT) and the Housing Corporation (HC) offer fantastic opportunities to give back to the Chapter that has given each of us so much, and we are looking to expand our ranks.<\/p>\n
The BOT coordinates the ongoing success of the Delta Chapter by advising the active brothers (primarily the Executive Board and Committee Chairmen), promoting alumni engagement, and both setting and achieving strategic long-term objectives to strengthen stability and ensure longevity. In recent years, this has mostly consisted of the Capital Campaign, Renovation Plans, Delta Dispatch, and reunions, and, in the future, will be extended to improving our internal processes, increasing alumni engagement, and ensuring upkeep and maintenance of the renovated house. The BOT asks for a minimum two-year commitment, and you may join as a Member at Large, without any specific responsibilities, donating time and energy in any area where you\u2019d like to be involved. While having a portion of the BOT local to Charlottesville has proven beneficial, living in Charlottesville is not a requirement to join the BOT.<\/p>\n
The HC\u2019s primary focus is the financial and physical wellbeing of the House. The HC manages the house\u2019s mortgage, tax designation, insurance, safety inspections, and larger maintenance projects. The HC is a smaller group, consisting of a President, Treasurer, and Scribe, who work together to manage the aforementioned operations.<\/p>\n
If you are interested in learning more or joining the BOT or the HC, please reach out to BOT Chairman Mike Bray at mab6bf@virginia.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Capital Campaign and Construction Update +$50,000 Matching Offer This is it, gentlemen.
