Hello and Happy February! This is a way for our future members, friends, and families to know what is happening in our AOII world. My name is Sarah Morgan, and I have the honor and pleasure of serving Theta Delta as the 2025 Vice President of Community Relations! I am so glad you are here:) We had an incredible January. Here are some highlights: 

  • On January 15, 2025, we celebrated the first day of class by holding one our favorite events- PJs and Planners. It was the best time getting to see everyone after the break! Thank you to our VP of Membership Experience, Ella Pitts, for planning this event.
  • On January 25, 2025, we celebrated the founding of Alpha Omicron Pi and the 128 years of sisterhood it has brought us. Our former and current Director of Lifetime Engagement, Genevieve Sandt and Milaila Crispen, did an amazing job planning this event.
  • January 21-23, 2025, we had the best time being snowed in with our sisters!
  • Spring Recruitment (COR) is in full swing! During January, we had two girls, Juliana and Elizabeth, accept bids. We love them so much already! Shoutout to our Director of COR, Maddie Osborne, for all of her hard work on planning events
Founder's Day Celebration 2025

Internationally, AOII’s philanthropy is Arthritis and we raise money for the Arthritis Foundation. The funds raised go towards research and camps for arthritis patients, such as Camp MASH in Mobile. At Troy University, we raised $28,334 for the Arthritis Foundation during 2024. Some events from our philanthropy weeks from the past year include: “Shop Out,” and “Smokeout Arthritis.” During February, we hosted Shop Out Arthritis at the AOII House. For this event, we asked members of the Panhellenic chapters to donate clothes, and we turned AOII into a pop up consignment shop! Half of the profits from the event went to the Arthritis Foundation and the other half went straight back to the person who donated the item(s). We hosted Smokeout Arthritis in October! We had a barbeque cookout, as well as live music, a lemonade truck, permenant jewlry, and trucker hats. We had a blast trying out this new event!

We have had and continue to do many fun sisterhood events. Some include "Galentines," bachelor watch party nights, 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 Planners 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! In December, we walked in the Troy Christmas Parade and had 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.

Alpha Love,
