Founded on
January 2, 1897, at Barnard
College of Columbia
University in New York City,
Alpha Omicron Pi began as a
dream by four young
collegiate women to continue
their friendship throughout
life. AOΠs
are inspired, committed, and
guided by our founding
principles and values of
promoting integrity,
developing leaders, striving
for all-around excellence,
and being a living example
and outstanding role model
for our chapters' local and
campus communities. Like
AOΠs
four founders, and
organization called the
Sorority Interest Group
(SIG) at Rose-Hulman
searched for two years to
find a likeable
international
representation. In spring
2006 SIG found their match
in AOΠ.
AOΠ
promotes friendship for a
lifetime and inspiration to
strive for academic
excellence and lifelong
learning. Thus, AOΠ's
181st chapter was colonized
at Rose-Hulman in April 2006
with 24 chapter members.
Members are dedicated to
campus and community
involvement, as well as
supporting AOΠ's
international philanthropy,
Arthritis Research. |
