May you love one another as happily always as we four have done in a life-long fellowship without a break! And may your descendants in Alpha Omicron Pi bring to you the glory that you yourselves are to us today! The badge of Alpha Omicron Pi is composed of the three initial letters of the three words of the Motto, superimposed one upon the next in order, which gives the Fraternity its name. Badges may be worn by initiated members only. Lending or giving the badge to any person not a member of the Fraternity is prohibited.
If it is worn with another pin, it is to be placed above it and to the right. No other pin, badge, insignia, such as a fraternity pin, Greek letter indicating the name of a chapter or a symbol denoting an office, may be attached to the badge in any way, whether by a chain or by hanging it on the fastener.
A bubble pin guard may be slipped on the pin bar for safety. Alpha Omicron Pi has only one color, cardinal. It is the color of the Fraternity flower, the ruby and the ribbon sometimes worn under the badge to welcome a new collegiate chapter. Founders Helen St. Clair Mullan. A true scholar with a keen mind, Helen was destined to become a great lawyer. As the mother of two daughters, she was also prominent in New York education, serving on the Board of Education and as a Trustee of Barnard College.
She was also a gifted musician. Stella George Stern Perry. Stella was well-known for her literary talents. Elizabeth Heywood Wyman. Bess, as she was usually called, was outstanding in education, social welfare and as a writer. She was always helping others.
Her quiet confident manner came from an inner strength. She gave AOII sympathetic understanding, kindness, gentleness and conscientious leadership. Jessie Wallace Hughan. Jessie distinguished herself as a teacher and writer. She was a gallant crusader for any cause she felt was just. She was a true philanthropist and a dynamic leader. Jessie gave AOII depth and sincerity. Determined to make a democratic, unostentatious society, the four women, Stella George Stern, Helen St.
Clair, Elizabeth Heywood, and Jessie Wallace climbed a little winding stair into the stackroom of the old Columbia Library. This little room was rarely used and stored Anglo-Saxon tomes and ancient vellum manuscripts. While the four sat in a deep window seat, pigeons outside and snow lightly falling, they pledged one another at the beginning of the year Barnard College welcomed the new fraternity and it was not long before the first chapter, Alpha, was flourishing.
But I knew that in the end, I would find my home and my family on campus. I feel so incredibly lucky each and every day that I was able to join this organization, and that I can now call the amazing women of AOII my sisters. Being a part of a sorority is truly a transformative experience, and I am so excited for each and every one of you pursuing it. The structure of Columbia Panhellenic Formal Recruitment is as follows:.
