On Saturday February, 5th the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity at SHSU had their annual Bid Day Festival.

This year the Tau’s started it off right with kegs and eggs. After-wards, all the brothers went to the LSC Ballroom to find out who the new guys were. We received 3 new guys this Spring, Winston Watts, Poncho Serna, and Trent Rojas. After the loudest Ruh Rah Raga, that has ever been shouted in the walls of the LSC, the brothers all went to the Tau’s pride and joy; the ATO Lodge.

Here the brothers had a relaxing day Barbequing, playing horseshoes, and dancing to Michael Jackson with the girls and sweetheart. That night all the brothers went to the Jolly Fox to dance and celebrate the end of a great day!
