Founders Day Registration Now Open!!!
Founders Day registration is now online! Come join us for the largest Founders Day in Theta Theta's History as we celebrate 35 years at Illinois State!
The weekend is packed with events, beginning on Friday night when many of our alumni will arrive into town from across the US (and some from even beyond our boarders!) On saturday, we will have our Alumni Association meeting, dedicate the new Scholarship Room built by the Alumni Association and Parents Association, participate in the honorary initiation of 2 soon-to-be Theta Theta alumni, and socialize with other alumni and undergraduate brothers, parents, wives, dates, families, and friends of Theta Theta at the Banquet, held at the NEW Marriott in Normal (across the street from Watterson towers).
BOT Scholarship Challenge
Dear Brothers,
As you have probably heard, our little brothers had a great semester, achieving the highest GPA out of all fraternities on campus! At our last Board of Trustees meeting, Chairman Dan Manno introduced a scholarship incentive program to not only encourage our men to continue their academic excellence, but also reward their successes. Dan has asked me to pass word of this awesome program on to you in hopes that we can raise enough funds to reward the chapter with an incentive if they reach a 3.0 GPA, 3.1 GPA, or 3.2 GPA! Please take a moment and consider if you have the available funds to help support the BOT and our undergraduates!
Happy 35th Founders day
Undergrads Lauded By National HQ
Wynn Smiley, Chief Executive Office of the Alpha Tau Omega National Fraternity sent out a video today congratulating our younger brothers on achieving the highest fraternity GPA on campus, noting too the excellent GPA achieved by our Worthy Master John Schuller! Congratulations to our little brothers on a job well done!

Upcoming Board of Trustees Meeting
Brothers, We have a BoT meeting this evening... Please take a momment and review the schedule of the chapter meetings for the house. Please come prepared to volunteer for a day to attend a chapter meeting. Exec board will be held on a separate day however chair meetings will take place a half hour before the chapter meeting.
Second, as we all know recruitment is a big part of each semester. Zac Summers was kind enough to send us the recruitment dates...
Beta Pi Class Initiation; Record Alumni Turnout
On Saturday, January 16th, The Alumni Association welcomed our newest undergraduate brothers of the Beta Pi Pledge Class into our Chapter. The Ritual was held in the Founders Suite at the Bone Student Center (the same equipment and room which was used to induce Br. Dr. Al Bowman, President of Illinois State University, in 2004).
New Alumni Relations Officer Appointed!
Worthy Master John Schueller has appointed Kyle Logan Simkins the new Alumni Relations Officer (ARO), replacing previous ARO Matt Decreval. Kyle has previously served the chapter as Worthy Master and Worthy Scribe(Secretary). Kyle is a senior English Major in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and has a great relationship with officers of the Alumni Association and trustees on the Board of Trustees. Kyle can be reached via email at klsimki@ilstu.edu.
Alumni Asked to Help Recruit!
It’s recruitment time again, and the Undergraduate Recruitment Chairman Zac Summers has asked that alumni come to the recruitment events and help out! This is a great opportunity for alumni to not only meet with and gauge prospective members, but also meet their undergraduate brothers.
Scholarship Room Contstruction
Work is continuing on the construction of the Scholarship Library in the ATO House at 608 Broadway! Last weekend, Dan Manno (Board of Trustees Chairman) and Andy D’Amico (President, Alumni Association) purchased a drop ceiling to install, and Dan is securing laminate flooring to finish the room. We are planning on making a trip down to ISU this weekend January 9th to at least install the ceiling and finish the wall work.
Please Excuse the Mess!
Welcome to our new website! Please excuse the mess over the next week... We're building it live and it may be down from time to time, or have features which appear one minute and disappear the next! But I promise you that in a few weeks, everything will be ironed out. Please DO NOT register on this site - I will send out a message once registration is open!
