Alumni of our beloved Xi Chapter of Alpha Tau Omega, my name
is Kent Hjelm and I am honored to serve as our chapter’s Alumni
Chair for the coming year. I hope to better connect our current
members with the brothers that came before us. We have a lot to
share about the state of our brotherhood, and a lot to be proud of. It
is with great pride that I can say that our chapter completed a year
of continued academic success, holding a spring semester Grade
Point Average of 3.618 to finish the year with a cumulative 3.505
average, which was the highest GPA of any Alpha Tau Omega
chapter. Additionally, we are excited to have welcomed 26 new
brothers into our chapter. Our new brothers come from Santa
Barbara, California to Snellville, Georgia and are of very diverse
backgrounds and identities. Each new member embodies all the
amazing qualities our fraternity strives to instill. We enjoyed the
several opportunities to meet and host our alumni, whether that
was during Homecoming weekend or the Notre Dame game, and
look forward to having that privilege again in the spring. Hearing
about the amazing things that our Alumni have done, and the
bonds that they have made and the traditions that they have set for
us are great examples for our active members to follow in order to
continue improving our chapter. This semester has seen Taus all
over the world, with 23 of the 29 members of 2018 pledge class
studying abroad. Each brother is experiencing the unique
opportunity to study in a foreign land and experience many
different and diverse cultures. However, we look forward to all of
them returning in the spring. Please enjoy seeing and reading about
the activity of the active brothers this semester in the rest of this
issue.
