Alpha Omicron Pi is not just a sorority; it is a place to call home, a place to find a friend, and a place to be you. We are inspired and committed to developing leaders, encouraging innovation and creativity, striving for academic excellence, and bettering ourselves and the community through philanthropic activities — and, of course, having the time of our lives!
From our many sisterhood activities and socials to our community service efforts and scholarship events, there is never a dull moment in AOII. We take special pride in our annual fall fundraiser, “Strike Out Arthritis,” a kickball tournament benefiting arthritis research. Great cause, great fun, and great friends! The sisters of AOII also enjoy participating in other Greek and community fundraiser events, as well as hold many leadership positions and key roles in other campus organizations. There is no question that no matter where you are at SJU, you will always see a familiar face.
Alpha Omicron Pi’s greatest strength is our sisters… unique as individuals, yet bound together by the common bond of friendship. AOII encourages each sister to recognize and exude her uniqueness and develop her individual talents and differences with the love and support of her sisters. The sisters of AOII will always remember the collegiate experience as a time of fun and excitement, best friends, and sisterhood that will last a lifetime.
