With social service being a major value of ATO, we asked our brother Sam why it's so important to him: "Social Service is important to me because it allows me to be an active member of our community. It allows me to benefit our community in any way that I can and I really enjoy that. Being able to help people that need help gives me life satisfaction and seeing how grateful people are after a days work of community service really just makes me happy."

What does our motto L&R mean to us? Our brother gives his thoughts:

"Love and Respect, just two simple words, encapsulate almost everything we stand for as Alpha Tau Omega. These words serve many purposes, being something one can have, can give, and can be. They often go hand in hand, i.e. if you respect someone, you love them, or by loving someone, you respect them. However, it isn’t always common sense for love and respect to go together. You can love someone without respecting them; that’s lustfulness. And you can respect someone without loving them; that’s fearfulness. Love and respect don’t only belong together, they fulfill each other. True love is respectful, true respect has love at the forefront. Between these two things stems every decision, every action, every effort we take to bind men together in the ties of brotherhood, and to create an environment of Love and Respect that reaches past our boundaries, and shines as a beacon from every life we humbly touch."
