Alpha Omicron Pi

Leadership, academic excellence, involvement, and genuine friendships make the Lambda Sigma chapter of Alpha Omicron Pi unique. Four women who exemplified these same qualities founded Alpha Omicron Pi on January 2, 1897.

The sisters of AOPi are involved in nearly every campus organization, including Arch Society, SGA, Order of Omega, Tate Society and Blue Key. Several sisters have been named Foundation Fellows and others receive academic scholarships. In 2006, one sister was elected Homecoming Queen and another was chosen as Greek Woman of the Year. Members also consider athletics important and are involved in UGA Cheerleading, Gymdogs, Track & Field, Dance Dawgs, Hoop Girls, Lacrosse and the Equestrian Team. Many sisters also represent the sorority on intramural teams.

Philanthropy activities such as ugaMIRACLE, Relay for Life and Alternative Spring Break are all important organizations that AOPi supports. Members take time to get involved with the community by volunteering at Athens Regional Hospital, Athens YMCA, Habitat for Humanity and mentoring at local schools.

Lambda Sigma supports its national philanthropy, Arthritis Research, by holding an annual 5K run, “Run for the Roses.” This event raised more than $10,000 in 2007. Sisters of AOPi also created a foundation to raise money in memory of a very special sister.

As a result of AOPi’s achievements and focus on tradition and excellence throughout the year, the Lambda Sigma chapter was recognized as the top AOPi chapter internationally in 2000. We welcome you to the University of Georgia and hope you enjoy Recruitment! Go Dawgs!
