Our chapter has been planning a Spring philanthropy in order to find a way to give back to the community during this quarter. After brain storming ideas, Doug Flowers, who is a transfer student from the University of Cincinnati, came up with the simple idea of “Tank a Tau” - the idea cosisting of setting up a dunk tank outside the chapter house and allowing students to pay for balls to, literally, “dunk” a member of ATO. The idea is simple enought that we are able to put it together in a short amount of time, but has the potential to turn into a much bigger idea that we have also been planning - a Spring Circus. The idea being to rent out a ferris wheel, have a cotton candy machine as well a few other attractions at the house in preparation for a social event. However, in the morning and afternoon, we would contact several orphanages/mentor programs and have them bring the kids out to enjoy a free festival sponsored by ATO.
