About AOII

Our Chapter & Values

About Epsilon Gamma

University of Northern Colorado

AOII was founded on being diverse and inclusive with all members who walk through our door. AOII pushes its members to represent the four core values the fraternity holds dear: character, dignity, scholarship and college loyalty. As collegiate women, we strive to maintain good academics and push each other to do their best in working towards their degrees. AOII loves its philanthropy and as an individual chapter we try our best to contribute to the arthritis foundation with a week of philanthropic events both semesters. This chapter is full of ambitious women who try their best to inspire ambition everyday just like our four founders, Stella, Jessie, Elizabeth, and Helen, did when they first formed this amazing sisterhood. The point of joining greek life is to find that lifelong sisterhood and Alpha Omicron Pi Epsilon Gamma strives to do just that. The greek community at the University of Northern Colorado has given our chapter members so many amazing opportunities. Being a part of something bigger has been such a rewarding experience and we continue to strive for greek life growth!

Our Submotto

A submotto reflects the unique spirit and values of each AOII chapter, chosen by its founding members to represent their collective aspirations and culture. It serves as a guiding principle for chapter activities, relationships, and how members engage with one another and the broader community.

Ever Growing, Ever Giving

AOII VALUES & ENDS

Values

“The object of this Fraternity shall be to encourage a spirit of Fraternity and love among its members; to stand at all times for character, dignity, scholarship, and college loyalty; to strive for and support the best interests of the colleges and universities in which chapters are installed, and in no way to disregard, injure, or sacrifice those interests for the sake of prestige or advancement of the Fraternity or any of its chapters.”

As expressed in the Object of the Fraternity, Alpha Omicron Pi was founded on the ideals of character, dignity, scholarship, and college loyalty. All members of the Fraternity, collegiate and alumnae, are expected to live these values to the fullest and carry the spirit of AOII into the world around them.

CHARACTER & DIGNITY

Whether you meet an AOII in class, throughout recruitment, off campus, or even after graduation, she is sure to bring light to your life. Members of the Fraternity are called to carry themselves with confidence as they represent our organization and treat everyone they meet with the utmost respect.

SCHOLARSHIP

AOII encourages all members to excel academically and has many programs designed to assist women in achieving their academic goals. Expectations are high but the support provided by scholarship programs, academic development officer resources, and fellow members makes success attainable. The emphasis on these pursuits was instilled by the four founding members of AOII in 1897, and this commitment remains a strong part of AOII today.

COLLEGE LOYALTY

Members of AOII are called to not only serve their chapters and the Fraternity as a whole, but also to be of service to their communities and universities. Whether they are raising money for a local philanthropic cause or spending time cleaning up a neighborhood park, serving as Student Government President or directing a college Panhellenic Executive Board, our members are excelling as leaders on their college campuses and far beyond.

AOII Ends

Our most ambitious goals for our members are called our “Ends” and are the end-product of what our organization is ultimately working to inspire in our members. The below five Ends have driven the Fraternity’s strategic direction this biennium and our progress towards Inspiring Ambition in all of our members.
