hey everybody. i just signed up with greek chat a couple of days ago. i was reffered by a member here. i have to say that by reading some of the posts on here, it makes me want to become a sister even sooner. i will soon be graduating high school and though im not a legacy i would love to start one. ive been looking at many sororities and alpha omicron pi is definately the one for me. i cant wait to rush. if anybody could offer me any advice i'd greatly appreciate it. and God willing, i hope to soon become a sister. thank you all for everything in advance. love you all. much love.

Welcome! I'm glad that you like what you have seen about AOII - it is a WONDERFUL sisterhood!

What school(s) might you be going to after graduation? One thing that everyone I'm sure will suggest/recommend is to just be yourself during recruitment. Meet some of the sisters - of all the sororities on campus - keep an open mind, don't be TOO excited (or at least come across as TOO excited/borderline desperate

), have other activities (in high school and in college) to show time management and leadership skills, etc.

Good luck and let us know if you have any questions

Wow!!! I am so excited that you already like AOII......The sisters are all wonderful

Sarah is definitely right. Being yourself during recruitment is very important. If you are not, you may end up somewhere you THINK you want to be, not the house which is the best fit for you. It will all work out for the best, trust me. I am so glad I found a group of wonderful girls that I am proud to call friends and sisters.

If you want to know anything else, just let any of us know, we will be glad to help!!

Good luck with finding the college for you!!!

4RunnerStar, it's exciting to hear how much you like our incredible sisterhood! I just want to repeat what Sarah and Lacey said, please keep an open heart and mind. Recruitment can be a funny thing, and what you think you want now may not be what's right for you in the end. You may even end up going to school somewhere that doesn't have an AOII chapter. Trust me, every sorority truly has something to offer every woman and every chapter is different in some way from each other. Sororities in general just rock that way!

Having said that, I think what we have in Alpha Omicron Pi is darned special and something I have treasured for almost 20 years. I hope if AOII is indeed right for you, you'll be able to share it with us in the future!

All my best,
Christin
