Virgin Party History

The Virgin Party is an annual event hosted by the Epsilon Gamma chapter of the Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity. Since 2001, steadily increasing numbers of students, parents, alumni, campus officials, and community residents crowd the front and back yards of the Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity to enjoy live music, food, and virgin frozen drinks in the name of a worthy cause. It started small, with local bands playing on the porch of the chapter house but the event has grown with the years.
