	Bradley Humes Athletics Major (Senior), Baseball Boisterous and the unquestioning leader of the fraternity's partiers, Bradley is the sort who was obviously born for the Greek life. He is a second-generation ATO, and his father contributed a fat portion of funding that paid for the ATO house's furnishings (something he never lets anyone forget). Common Locations: ATO Fraternity House (Room 9 & 10), University of Astoria (Athletics Center, Main Quad, Other frat houses), Crossroads
	Brody Higgins & Caleb Huffman Currently General Science Majors (3rd Year Seniors); UofA Republicans, Social Gaming Club Brody and Caleb are childhood friends that are rarely ever seen apart from each other. They spend most of their time on the couch in the ATO house watching television or playing video games. They are both third generation ATO and third year seniors having attended Wayne State University in Detroit, MI prior to transferring to UofA when it first began enrollment. They have changed their majors seven times since they began college and their parents don't seem to mind continuing to float the bill so long as they retain their ATO family pedigree. Common Locations: ATO Fraternity House (Rooms 3 & 4), University of Astoria (Student Center, Library, Richmond Science Center, Athletics Center)
	Reese Tavis Archaeology Major (Junior); Wrestling & Rugby Reese is a good guy: a member of the ATO and a good athlete, a solid low-As student (majoring in Archaeology, with a minor in Mass Communications), he's well-liked by most of the people he knows. Reese plays hooker position in rugby. • Ep 101: Reese was assigned the task of helping Henry plan the Bonfire Night party. His uncle brought Stella a box of his things. • Ep 101b: Resse's room was broken into during the ATO break in. We also discovered that Reese was in a short relationship with Victor Sutherland last year. Common Locations: ATO Fraternity House (Room 18), University of Astoria (Athletics Center, Richmond Science Center, Main Quad, Student Center)
	Henry Mulgrew Mass Communications Major (Junior); Wrestling, Cross-Country & Rugby Henry is the newest member of ATO. Common Locations: ATO Fraternity House (Room 17), University of Astoria (Athletics Center, Columbia Hall, Student Center [esp the [[Queer Resource Center] ).
	Tyler Doress Engineering Major (Junior); Ballroom Dancing Club, Habitat for Humanity, Bowling Club Tyler transferred to UofA from PSU last year. He is highly sociable but tends to be a quiet observer more than a contributor. He is a very active participants in the clubs he belongs to and always eager to lend a helping hand in fraternity events. He maintains a perfect 4.0 GPA, though he is rarely ever seen studying. Tyler has a girlfriend named Jin Ae that he has been dating long distance for six years. She lives in Korea and they met through World of Warcraft. • Ep 101b: Stella had initially mistaken the "large hulking figure" in the basement to be Tyler. Common Locations: ATO Fraternity House (Room 7), University of Astoria (Student Center, Library, Innis Hall)
	Carter Smythe Engineering Major (Sophomore); Cross Country, Rugby, Wrestling Carter is a young former Eagle Scout who is attending university partially on a Scouting scholarship. He's an upstanding young man: a star rugby player and wrestler, good at academics, a faithful church-goer who does work with service organizations like Habitat For Humanity during his summers. He also helps run the campgrounds for the local Boy Scouts, as well. Carter was thrilled when Warner, someone from his old troop who'd been (to his mind) unfairly removed from the Scouts, showed up at the university, and they've struck up a tentative friendship again. If Carter has a weakness, it is the TA Neena Cosgrove, whom he asks out on a date at the end of every lecture he attends where she is presiding. To date, he's had no success, but he's sure he just needs to prove himself to her. In the short time since the new brother Henry has shown up, he and Carter have found themselves in a friendly rivalry. Common Locations: ATO Fraternity House (Room 21), University of Astoria (Student Center, Library, Innis Hall, Athletics Center)
	Justin Baratiak Athletics Major (Sophomore); Baseball, Cross Country Justin juggles working full time for the Astoria Trolley and a full load of courses on top of baseball and cross country. This being the case, he has precious little spare time. He lives in a tiny off campus apartment with his aunt. He frequently spends what little free time he can find at the ATO House where he decompresses with his friends or studies in the frequently abandoned study hall. Common Locations: ATO Fraternity House (Room 11), University of Astoria (Athletic Center), Crosswalk Apartments, Astoria Trolley (work).
	Kaleb Jackson Marine Biology Major (Sophomore); Swim team, Coast Guard ROTC Known throughout the frat house as "Grumpy Cat" for his general demeanor and bad attitude, Kaleb goes through life with a glare on his face. Though he doesn't have many immediate friends in the frat or out of it, he is dedicated to it as a whole - unsurprising given the fact that his father is ATO as well, and donated about half of the funds used to furnish the downstairs. Common Locations: ATO Fraternity House (Room 14), University of Astoria (MERTS Campus, Patriot Hall, Richmond Science Center).
	Dan Montoya History Major (Sophomore); Cross Country, Basketball Dan is very gregarious and makes a point of getting to know just about everyone that he encounters on anything like a regular basis. He's also the go-to guy for brothers who're having problems with history or writing work in general. He's something of a local, as well. Common Locations: ATO Fraternity House (Room 24), University of Astoria (Athletic Center, Patriot Hall), His mother's home in Warrenton.
	Eric Clasen Mechanical Engineering Major (Sophomore); Rugby, Coast Guard ROTC Eric is pursuing a Mechanical Engineering degree under a Coast Guard ROTC scholarship. Absolutely mad for Rugby he decided on the University of Astoria so that he could play and not have to leave the Oregon Coast to go to college. Eric seems to split his time between studying, partying at the ATO house, and working out at the Athletic center. Common Locations: ATO Fraternity House (Room 13), University of Astoria (Athletic Center, Innis Hall).
	Pieter Kostina Agriculture & Business Dual Major (Freshman) The nephew of an ATO alum who worked to get the young man in the fraternity, Pieter grew up in Volgograd, Russia. Though he is bilingual, his speech is still somewhat heavily accented - he's only been in the United States since his senior year in high school. He's bright, if a little shy. Common Locations: ATO Fraternity House (Room 15), University of Astoria (Delphis Hall, Columbia Hall), his uncle's house in Portland, OR.
	Nick Marchant Undeclared Major (Freshman); Wrestling Another freshman who is part of the fraternity because his father was, Nick always seems a bit overwhelmed at the university experience. Though he's got something of a reputation as a bit of a follower, he's also a great guy to have around at parties. For some reason, he also seems to have quite a way with the ladies. Common Locations: ATO Fraternity House (Room 16), University of Astoria (Richmond Science Center, Towler Hall, Student Center).
	Eddy Tsung Education Major (Freshman); Cross Country, Baseball An Astoria local, Eddy has a half-assed intention of becoming a high school teacher, but is far more interested in his athletics program, hoping to find a place in professional baseball at some point. Common Locations: ATO Fraternity House (Room 19), University of Astoria (Athletics Center, Kant Hall), his family home in the Alameda/WestLex neighborhood of Astoria.
	Roger Vinings Computer Major (Freshman); Swim Team Though the frat house nominally has maintenance to deal with such things, Roger immediately took up that responsibility when he was inducted into the ATO last year. Though this is his second year as a freshman, he started in Winter term last year, and rushed the frat that term. Common Locations: ATO Fraternity House (Room 20), University of Astoria (Innis Hall, Athletics Center).

Davis Monk Communications Major (Sophomore); Marine Veteran A fairly quiet man with a reputation for his stony silences, Davis received a Medal of Valor and Purple Heart for his service in Afghanistan, where he lost his leg.

Victor Sutherland Wildlife Conservation (Sophomore) With a reputation for both intelligence and a temper, Victor is an intensely private person. He can also be very intimidating when he tries. Ep 101b: When the PC's were planning for the bonfire, Victor was taking their pictures with his cellphone. He also surprised Thomas by having reflexes fast enough to stop him from swiping a phone. Common Locations: PSN Fraternity House (Room xxx), University of Astoria (MERTS Campus, Delphis Hall).

Aedia Randall Chapter President; Business, specializing in green technologies and conservation; Cross-Country and Swim Team The president of Theta Phi Alpha, Aedia comes from money. She's no spoiled debutante belle, though, or snooty New England royalty. She's definitely a Pacific Northwestern girl, all piercings and a preference for house music. She's really damned good at most of the things she puts her mind to, and looks down on everyone else around her. She claims to hold herself and everyone around her to a high standard, but most people agree she's just kind of a superior bitch, even if she is fucking irritatingly good at what she does. Unlike most queen-bee types, she doesn't have a clique of girls who follow at her beck and call, however - so far, no one's managed to live up to her high standards. Aedia also has a cousin who is a TA at the university, and the two of them spend occasional time together. • Ep 101: Aedia appeared at the Crossroads while Jace and Thomas were there. She paid attention to Jace just long enough to get drinks off of him, and then hooked up with some meat-head athlete. Common Locations: TPA Sorority House (Room 1&2), University of Astoria (Athletics Center, Columbia Hall, Innis Hall, Student Center), the Crossroads

Miranda Barnes Psychology Major (Sophomore) One of the small clique of girls who seem to orbit Aedia, Miranda is arguably the quietest one of them all. She recently managed to land the attentions of Jace Evans, to the envy of her girlfriends, but doesn't seem sure what to make of it. • Ep 101: Part of Aedia's crew at the Crossroads, she was among those left to entertain Jace (a task she didn't seem to object to at all). He was cool toward her, and she ended up giving him a handjob in the car outside, before they went their separate ways. Common Locations: TPA Sorority House, University of Astoria (Kant Hall, Student Center, Alder Hall), the Crossroads
