The Bull spent 2 or 3 yrs in Cardinal farm system before signing with the Denver. He is the reason for the clothes line tackle rule in NFL, the Dude almost decapitated Mike Garret. and the Patriots thought so much of him they traded Nick Boincontie, for him,and it seems Mr. SCHU, the freshman thought Mr.Bramlett the senior should get his own coke, I heard a broken jaw was in the mix. Harry was an O Lineman in the NFL for ten yrs and I believe a few of those were AllPro, so u see Harry was no light weight. The Bull was a BAD MAN

It's time to hopefully make the Greek system a strong one once again. I just have to say, look down the road to the south in Oxford. Greeks are in big strength there. Lots of today's leaders and successful business people are Greeks. Once a fraternity man or sorority sister always one. You can and will have life long relationships with good results. Besides young men and women need your influence for the good.

Working your way though college is no excuse for not being a part of it. If you're a student, you'll be studious no matter what you're doing. Greek participation will provide you other skills you can put to good use all your life.

Guidance/experience... provide it to the young so that they can grow up and be productive people.

I would love to know who belongs to what house on here. Are any others interested?

An ATO since Fall 1995. The friendships and bonds I made in the chapter are still strong today. I've met a number of folks from other schools and bonded over that common link.

Each person has to make their own choices as to whether or not they want to be a part of the Greek system...the only thing I would say is please don't fall back on the same tired lines of us buying our friends...it's simply not true.

I was thinking the same thing.

I lived in the ATO house from 2012-2014. I was housing chair for one of those years and I can assure you that it's an uphill battle just trying to keep all of the bathrooms working. The house is a complete dump, but that never stopped us from having a good time.

You got that right. One time he beat up Harry Schuh so bad that Coach "Spook" Murphy told him that if he EVER touched another Tiger player, he'd be gone off the team.

John became a changed man later in life. He's deceased now.

BTW he was a Denver Bronco too. He almost won rookie of the year in the old AFL. Can't remember who beat him.

Joe Namath

Thank you. Now I do remember that.

Here is a interesting photo of the 1958 All Memphis team, including Bramlett. You may recognize some of the others:

Arabian people wear those to help protect from the sun in the desert climate. Alpha pays homage to the Egyptian and East African origins of civilization and it is a strong part of our history and cultural heritage.
