Excerpt from The Omegan of Theta Upsilon Omega, Vol. 7: December, 1930

Tau Omega Chi did remarkably well the first year, considering the fact that it was not organized until the school year was well under way. The fraternity came through that first year with flying colors, having attained the highest scholarship record on the cam pus. The next year found Tau Omega Chi in a more favorable lo cation, and, with a very successful year behind them its members were able to set to work in earnest to build up the Chapter. Dur ing this year, the fraternity became interested in owning its own home and went about setting aside a building fund and having plans drawn up for a suitable building.

The following year, 1926 - 27, Tau Omega Chi thought itself well enough established to try expansion, and accordingly established a Beta chapter at the University Of Alabama. Before the end of the year this was a flourishing chapter.

During the following year, because of the fact that both chap ters decided it would be best to become national by petitioning some established national fraternity, the two chapters severed relations. Leaving each free to petition as it saw best.

During that year, the Auburn chapter purchased what is probably the best located fraternity house in the town. A three - story building, only one block from the Administration Building, and one block from fraternity row.

The next year, 1928 - 29, the fraternity was in a favorable loca tion, and having the largest enrollment in its history, it experienced a very prosperous year. It was during this year that Tau Omega Chi became actively interested in nationalization. However, it was not until the next vear, 1929. That it felt itself capable of ventur ing a petition to a national fraternity, Many considerations made Theta Upsilon Omega seem most desirable and suitable, and a peti tion was completed after months of hard work. \v hen, after weeks of anxious waiting, the telegram arrived notifying Tau Omega Chi Of the acceptance of its petition. Great was the rejoicing. T. U. O.'s baby chapter, backed by six years of experience and preparation, looks forward to a future of success and prosperity.
