Until about 4 years ago, it was on their national website. AOII used to include a story in our history about KKG in our founding, too. When women were first admitted to Barnard, all women students were invited to join the Kappa chapter that soon formed. After a few years, the number of members had gotten so large that the chapter began restricting membership. When the 4 Founders of AOII matriculated, the story goes that all were given bids to Kappa but Stella George Stern. The other three refused their bids and a year later formed Alpha Omicron Pi. The story has disappeared from our founding history over the years with the emphasis being placed on the bond of friendship between the four women.
