Our Values We are inspired and committed to our founding principles and are guided by the following values:
Alpha Delta Chapter The Alpha Delta chapter was formed at the University of Alabama on February 25, 1967. Seventeen outstanding girls came together to bring a sorority to the UA campus that would continue to uphold the mottos of Alpha Omicron Pi. All of these same virtues are still held true to the hearts of the Alpha Delta members.
Philanthropy
Jewel: Ruby Magazine: To Dragma • trusting and respecting each other Flower: Jacqueminot rose, a deep red rose, was chosen as the flower of Alpha Omicron Pi because its color is the symbol of the central and essential virtue of the Fraternity.
• building lifelong friendships • contributing time, talent and financial resources • promoting integrity
Mascot: While not an official symbol, the Fraternity and our chapters consider the Panda to be its mascot.
Sisterhood: From football games, to homecoming, to socials and road trips, your sisters of AOП are always there laughing, cheering, and singing along the way. The moment we met on the lawn until the day we graduate and even to our weddings and baby showers, we will never forget the bond we share with our sisters of Alpha Omicron Pi.
Financial Responsibility: Eating meals together, providing for the safety and security of each member, maintaining the chapter house, and funding for the operation of the chapter are all a part of the financial responsibility of each member. Statements are sent via mail and email every semester, and must be paid in a timely manner.
Leadership Opportunities Whether a member chooses to serve on a committee, run for a chapter office, or represent AOII as a member of other campus or community organizations, there are unlimited opportunities to be involved in AOII.
Academic Excellence 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.
In the past year Alpha Delta raised over $20,000 for our philanthropy, Arthritis Research. Arthritis is the number one most painful disease that does not have a cure. The 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.
Annual Fundraisers: Backyard Bash is our annual barbeque behind the house before a major football game. Under the shadow of the stadium, family, friends and alumni are able to enjoy lunch while listening to the music of a live band. Proceeds made from tickets sold for barbeque plates are donated to the Arthritis Foundation.
Run for Roses is our annual 5K run around a marked trail across the beautiful UA campus. Participants can choose to walk, run, or just make a donation. The run is followed by lunch served on the Quad accompanied by the music of a live band. Proceeds from entry fees and tickets for lunch are donated to the Arthritis Foundation.
