Spring 06 Pledge ClassFor the Alpha Tau Omega Spring Pledge class of2006 we have come a long way and have worked veryhard in the chapter house considering there are onlyfive of us. We have gone from not even knowing eachother and being complete strangers to being, I'd say,some of the best of friends. The greatest of times havebeen going to random places as a group or just hangingout one on one with each other. There is no doubt thatif there were ever in a time that anyone of us run into aproblem that we could talk on each other no matterwhat. Throughout this past semester we have workedboth together to accomplish the pledge program expectations,and individually to battle through our pledgesemester and rigorous school work all in hope to somedaybecome an initiated in to the Alpha Tau Omega FraternityDelta Theta Chapter. Through the work that wehave done and the things that we have experienced as aclass, we are confident and ready to become apart ofthe success of ATO.George Ochoa, 2006 Pledge Class TreasurerThis years Spring Pledge Class, consisted of fiveoutstanding men, all with diverse in backgrounds, majors,looks and attitudes as most every pledge class forthe last 30 years have been.
