Alpha Tau Omega Chapter at Southern California

Although the chapter received its charter on April 30, 1951, the story of its founding began several years earlier. In the spring of 1947 a young man by the name of Marv Lester enrolled at the University of Southern California. He was a transfer from the University of Oregon, where he had joined the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity. Since there was no ATO chapter at USC, he joined the Stray Greeks, an organization for students who had belonged to fraternities at other schools but which had no chapter on the USC campus.
