Welcome to Theta Delta's Blog!

March 1, 2025

Hello and Happy March! 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 February. Here are some highlights: 

  • We had our Spring Bid Day on February 20th where we got to welcome three sweet girls to our sisterhood! Juliana, Paten, and Elizabeth- you are already so loved. Shoutout to our Director of COR, Maddie Osborne, for planning the sweetest day!
  • We had our Executive + Directors Team photoshoot on February 9th. Everyone looked beautiful, and the photos turned out great! The team has already been working hard, and we cannot wait to see how they flourish in their roles this year.
  • We had our spring date party on February 7th! The theme was Drop It Like Its Yacht, and everyone had so much fun. Shoutout to our Director of Event Planning, Brooklyn Fountain, for planning the best event!
  • We celebrated Galentine’s on February 13th with fun snacks, making cards for the Troy Rehabilitation Center, and sweet fellowship with our sisters. Shoutout to our VP of Membership Experience, Ella Pitts, for planning this!

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,
