The core values of ATO are a central part of my daily life today. Many of my friends are alumni from other ATO chapters or other houses, including Delta Lamda Phi, Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Chi and Sigma Pi. I also have a strong contingent of military friends. One thing I've learned is that brotherhood is something that takes time to form. The more you put into it, the more you'll get out of it.
Lovers come and go, but friends are there for the long haul.
Male bonding in the classical Greek sense is where it's at. It brings you to a higher plane, an esprit de corps, as though one becomes stronger from the sharing of strength. It cuts through the veneer of cheap thrills and enables one to appreciate the art of manhood . It also connects one to an electric current running through history, from the Olympians to the Knights of the Round Table to, yes, Otis Allan Glazebrook.
