Alumna Initiate Program
The Alumna Initiate Program allows AOII to share our Ritual with those women who are a large part of our lives and who exemplify what AOII is, but for one reason or another, were not presented with the opportunity to become an AOII during college. This is a great way to make a family relationship grow even stronger through the bond of sisterhood that so many have already experienced! Alpha Omicron Pi has extended alumnae membership to outstanding women for many years and has allowed many women (mothers, sisters, aunts, close friends) who have never been part of an NPC organization to join AOII. Alumnae Initiates (AIs) have been able to not only support alumnae chapters but also help the growth of collegiate chapters by becoming advisers and volunteers.
What is the Alumna Initiate Program?
The Alumna Initiate Program program invites women of good character who share our philosophy and purpose and who will support the Object of the Fraternity to become a part of Alpha Omicron Pi. The invitation is extended beyond the traditional environment of our collegiate chapters across the United States and Canada. AOII is proud of offer women of various ages and situations the opportunity for membership as Alumnae Initiates.
Qualifications for Alumnae Initiates
Our Chapter's Alumnae Initiates
The San Diego Alumnae Chapter has had 3 members over the years that were initiated as Alumnae. One was a member's colleague, one was a member's sister, and one was a member's daughter. Please note that only collegiate chapters have the privilege of initiating members, so these members were not initiated by our chapter.
