About Epsilon Omega

Eastern Kentucky University

Thanks for stopping by the official webpage of Alpha Omicron Pi at Eastern Kentucky University. We are so excited that you have an interest in the organization that is so near and dear to each of our members.Here you will find information and photos that will provide an inside look at what makes our membership in AOII so wonderful. AOII has been at Eastern Kentucky University for over 30 years, and with each year, AOII grows stronger as we strive to inspire ambition among one another. Our chapter consists of incredibly driven and influential women from many different walks of life. Bound by our values, we all share the same vision of scholarship, campus involvement, dedication to philanthropy and, most importantly, sisterhood. During the school year, we participate in many events that embody those shared values. In addition to participating in AOII, our sisters strive to make a positive impact on the campus and community around us. Each sister chooses to make this happen by involving herself in many different activities and organizations. With the common goal of constantly learning, bettering ourselves and exceeding expectations in all we do, an AOII member gains a deeper understanding of herself and those she can serve.

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.

Each One Plays a Great Part

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.”
