Alpha Omicron Pi

Alpha Omicron Pi is an organization founded on the principles of friendship by four uniquely profound women over 114 years ago. Today, we have shared our gift of sisterhood with over 150,000 women across the United States and Canada, all due to the vision and direction of these remarkable women and our Fraternity leadership throughout the years. AOII leadership works to develop achievable, yet challenging, goals to help to ensure that our organization continues to move forward. After making significant successful progress throughout the last strategic plans, the leadership of the AOII Fraternity, AOII Foundation, AOII Properties, and Headquarters staff have coordinated to develop a highlyengaging strategic direction for the 2011-2015 bienniums. This direction will guide decision-making and the allocation of resources for our entire organization.
