Alpha Omicron Pi colonized its newest colony at Saint Joseph’s University in Philadelphia on February 5, 2005. Forty-two women took part in the colonization ceremony that officially established the colony on the campus of SJU. Toni Morgan, AOII’s Vice President of Development, conducted the colonization ceremony in the Forum Theatre at the Campion Student Center among 120-plus attendees. The guests included university administration, family and friends, AOIIs and other Greek organizational members. AOII’s International President, Sally Wagaman welcomed each new colony member with a red rose following their pinning. Kim Carroll, AOII Executive Board Director of Programming and members of the SJU Alumnae Advisory Committee served as sponsors for the colony members.

The colony at Saint Joseph’s University is scheduled for installation in late April. This will be AOII’s 179th chartered chapter. More details regarding the initiation and installation ceremonies will be forthcoming.
