Alpha Omicron Pi (ΑΟΠ, AOII, Alpha O) is an international sorority founded on January 2, 1897, at Barnard College on the campus of Columbia University in Manhattan, New York City.[1][2]
"AOII," and "Alpha O," the familiar names of the fraternity,[3] is open to women regardless of ethnicity, religion or socio-economic background,[4] with over 140 active collegiate chapters and 159 active alumnae chapters in Canada and the U.S.A.[5][6] The fraternity is headquartered in Brentwood, Tennessee, and is a member of the National Panhellenic Conference.[1] Major symbolism includes the color cardinal, the ruby and the 'Général Jacqueminot' rose. The fraternity publishes a magazine for the benefit of members, named To Dragma.[1]
Alpha Omicron Pi was founded on the ideas found in the object of the fraternity—character, dignity, scholarship, and college loyalty.[7]
