Alpha Omicron Pi believes that one of it's duties is to
bring a service and spirit of love to the community they
live in. Not for the self-glory, but because it is an
opportunity to give back to society. AOΠ
chapters and their members throughout the nation participate
in and organize events to support local service projects.
Our sisters enjoy making a difference and sharing of
themselves. Since it's inception, AOΠ
has combined the efforts of over 115,000 members and made a
difference in the lives of thousands.
Alpha Omicron Pi's
international Philanthropy supports Arthritis, and Juvenile
Arthritis related diseases. Since 1967 when we adopted the
Arthritis Foundation and Canadian Arthritis Society as our
international philanthropy, over one million dollars have
been raised by AOΠs to help researchers find a cure for
this crippling disease that, so often, targets women as its
victims.
The AOΠ Foundation
grants funds annually to support Arthritis Research for the
purpose of finding the cause and a cure. In addition, the
foundation supports the American Juvenile Arthritis
Organization with grants for family arthritis education and
children's arthritis camps.a
Each
year we hold two philanthropies. In the fall we hole Ruby
Dudes that is a football tournament. Our women act as
coaches for the men of the fraternities that enter. Then in
the spring we hold Rose Bowl which is a bowling tournament. |
