Founders Day 2020
New Mexico - Eta Kappa
By John Hawkins Sep 11, 2020
The brothers of ATO Eta Kappa would like to take this time to remember our founding 155 years ago and recognize that today has significant importance to our nation. 19 years ago, terrorists hijacked 4 airplanes, crashing two into the World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon, and the final plane crashing in Somerset County, Pennsylvania as passengers fought back against the hijackers. 2,977 people died that day from all walks of life, thousands of first responders still suffer the effects of this tragic day. Alpha Tau Omega was founded to unite our country at the end of the Civil War, and today we live by the values of Love & Respect. To all those affected by this day and the subsequent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, we love and respect you wholeheartedly. Happy 155th ATO and may God bless those we lost 19 years ago. To Otis, Erksine, and Alfred thank you for bringing us together as one, united against division. May your values live forever. -With Love and Respect Alpha Tau Omega – Eta Kappa
