The Alpha Tau alumni and undergraduate leadership has developed a solid plan to address the long-term viability of the Beta experience on the UNL campus. Through careful study, assessment, and planning, it has been determined that updates and maintenance to the chapter house are necessary, and we must invest in our home to meet the needs of today’s students.
