Become a Member

There are actually several ways to become a member of Alpha Omicron Pi.  Most commonly, Alpha Omicron Pi seeks potential new members through a formal recruitment process on campuses where we have collegiate chapters.  Working within Panhellenic guidelines, chapters may also be allowed to recruit informally.  The addition of a collegiate chapter on a campus where one does not exist is called extension and evolves through a well-planned process involving the National Panhellenic Conference, the college or university and AOII to help guarantee the success of the new chapter.  AOII also has an alumnae initiate membership program to recruit new members who are no longer collegians.  More specific information on how to become a member and how to recommend someone else for membership is available in this section.
   
New Members
On each of the college campuses where we have chapters, AOII is a member of the local college Panhellenic Association, which regulates collegiate recruitment on its campus. ALL AOII chapters follow specific recruitment guidelines established by the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC), the local Panhellenic Associations, as well as the fraternity. Formal recruitment activities usually take place in the early fall or early spring as determined by the local administration. When allowed by NPC guidelines, informal recruitment efforts continue throughout the year. 
 

Sisterhood in Alpha Omicron Pi means much more than attending meetings, going to social events and wearing Greek letters. It is a feeling of belonging to a group of women who accept you for who you are and encourage you to develop into who you want to become. In AOII, you can find a place where you feel at home. You can count on your sisters in good times and in bad, strive for your goals as a chapter, and draw sisters together in one strong bond. Through it all, you will make friendships that will last a lifetime. 
 
For more specific information on recruitment activities, we encourage you to contact the Panhellenic Office at the college or university of your choice.
