Theta Delta Blog

WELCOME!

December, 2024

Welcome you to our blog! This is a way for our future members, friends, and families to know what is happening in our AOII world. Our chapter, Theta Delta, was established in the fall of 2017.

Internationally, AOII’s philanthropy is Arthritis and we raise money for the Juvenile Arthritis Foundation. The funds raised go towards research and camps for juvenile arthritis patients, such as Camp MASH in Mobile. At Troy University, we raised $28,334 for the Arthritis Foundation this past year. Some events from our philanthropy weeks from this past year include: “Shop Out,” and “Spook Out Arthritis.” During Spook Out we hosted a haunted house at AOII. It was open to the community and all of Greek life to walk through. Sisters were outside with food, games, and even a fortune teller. In February we hosted Shop Out Arthritis at the AOII House as well. This promotes Panhellenic to donate clothes and we turn AOII into a boutique! Half of the profits from the event go to the Arthritis Foundation and the other half goes straight back to the person who donated the item(s). This October we had our philanthropy week and held Smoke Out Arthritis, Pie a Panda, and various spirit nights at local businesses. It was so much fun trying a new event and we had the best time as a chapter.

We have had and continue to do many fun sisterhood events. Some include "Galentines", bachelor watch party nights, a planner party, hand printing each other's shirts (Tag a Sister) during recruitment, group dance fitness class, yoga on the lawn, and so much more. We also host Mom's Weekend and Parent's Weekend throughout the year. In August, we participated in formal recruitment and our new members went on a retreat to Dauphin Island, AL. Our chapter also had PJs and Pancakes for the first day of class at the AOII house! In September we hosted a Fall Festival at AOII. Some fun events we participated in during October were Haunted Hill and Homecoming! December is full of fun events as well. We walked in the Troy Christmas Parade and plan to have a Christmas Extravaganza at the house before final exams begin! Sisterhood for us is about connecting to and supporting one another through life. AOII is more than four years of college, it is forever.
