Our Chapter & Values

About Theta Iota

California State University San Marcos

At CSUSM, our members "Inspire Ambition" and enhance their college experience by living the values that Alpha Omicron Pi was founded on - Character, Dignity, Scholarship and College Loyalty.

One of the most important things we do in AOII is give back to the community.

We are proud to raise money for the Arthritis Foundation by throwing our annual Strike Out Arthritis Kickball Tournament. This is an AWESOME and FUN event where all the fraternities, sororities and other groups on campus compete against each other for the “Strike Out Arthritis'' trophy! AOII’s across the nation have raised over $1,000,000 in just the last two years. These funds support research, Juvenile Arthritis Power Packs, Juvenile Arthritis Camps and Conferences and so much more.

Our second philanthropy is “Sisters for Soldiers''. Living in North County San Diego every single one of us knows somebody in the military or who served in the Armed Forces. Whether it is a parent, grandparent, relative, sibling, significant other or friend, it affects all of us. Last semester we raised funds during our Alpha Male sweetheart contest. The funds raised are donated to a local non-profit organization, which serves active-duty military personnel, veterans and their families.

Our chapter is made up of sisters from California to Chicago and majors varying from business and kinesiology to media studies and education.

Here at Alpha Omicron Pi, our members have a place to call home, a place to find friends and a place to be yourself without any judgement! In AOII, you will find lifelong friendships, receive support to excel in your studies, gain opportunities for leadership development and community service, all while making some of the most incredible memories of your life!

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.

Love Sisterhood, Treasure Individuality

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.
