Dear Alumni Brothers,

Greetings for the New Year and I hope you all had a safe and happy holiday. My name is Price Howard and I am the newly elected President of the Zeta Mu Chapter at Sam Houston State University. While looking forward to my new duties as President, I wanted to quickly advise you of some of the upcoming events and things I wish to accomplish for the upcoming year.

Brothers may make a tax deductible contributions to the SHSU ATO Scholarship Fund and will receive a letter from the University.  Donations can be made online or by mailing a check to:

Bill Sutherland

I first met Bill Sutherland in 1967 when he pledged our fraternity, ATO, at Sam Houston State.

In a fraternity, you naturally gravitate to people who you relate to and those who share common interests. Bill and I became great friends instantly. Eventually I was in his wedding to Elaine and he traveled to Illinois to be in my wedding to Susie.

Bill Sutherland entered into rest on December 30, 2009 in Naples, Florida. He was born August 14, 1946 in San Marcus, Texas to Rex William Sutherland and Mildred Therese Crawford-Sutherland. Bill is survived by his children, Kristen Schultz and husband Jeff, Bryan Sutherland and wife Julie and Lacey Spikes and husband Barkley; grandchildren, Phillip Roberts, Cortney Roberts and Finley Spikes. In lieu of flowers the family has requested donations be made to a charity of your choice.

Services will be held Tuesday, January 8^th, 2010, 10:00am at Cashner Funeral Home in Conroe.

Are there any Zeta Mu brothers that blog? If so, please let us know.

This video was shown at the Leadership Training for ATO advisers in Indianapolis this past summer. The ATO Foundation paid the way for 18 of us to learn more about the upcoming freshmen. Rico

We're in the process of constructing a new web site for Zeta Mu ATOs. The site is currently in the very early stages of development, but, we decided to make it "live" so that forward thinking brothers could help with the construction.

The first phase is to get the alumni database updated and to get online registration for the April reunion online. After that we have a lot of ideas for features to add.

We're putting out a call for volunteers to assist in the effort.

I have not run into any Taus within the Marine Corps yet. I have only met one other guy from Sam Houston State and we have been friends ever since. As a matter of fact, we ended up in the war together.
