Famous Sisters

We need to add Aneta Corsaut (Rho) who played Andy Griffith's girlfriend and later wife on "The Andy Griffith Show" and "Mayberry R.F.D." I never knew this until it showed up in my new To Dragma that came today. Since AOII has an unofficial policy not to list "famous" alumnae, I wonder how many famous AOIIs are out there that we have no clue about?

Im reading my To Dragma right now!! One of my close chapter sisters is pictured in the headquarters pic

and 3 of my other sisters are pictured on pg 55 (the chapter name is a typo i guess).

I was also surprised that there is an AI with my first AND last name! lol

We have an unofficial policy? I wasn't aware of this, funny!

Yeah, you'll notice that we don't have a list on our International website like other organizations do. It's because somewhere along the line, the powers that be decided that putting too much emphasis on "famous" sisters deemphasized the importance of every sister whether or not she is famous.

I recall hearing that your HQ was not "into" having a list of Famous AOPis, but from this post on Facebook, it looks like they'd be okay with Olympians!

Alpha Omicron Pi Fraternity

The countdown has begun to the Opening Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games - good luck to all of our Panhellenic sisters competing in the games this year! We have not yet heard of any AOIIs competing - if you know of someone, please send us an email at aoiionline@alphaomicronpi.org! If you are attending the games, let us know and send us photos!

I think celebrating and watching a sister compete in the Olympics would be fun and is the point of the post. Are you purposely trying to be provocative? We actually have past Olympic medalist sisters in AOII and they are still not listed on the AOII website.

I honestly just wondered if it might be a shift from the previous policy.

Methinks you know the answer to this.

Nut apologized, and I accept. AOII does things differently than other groups for lots of things, ie. no COA, no list of famous alums, no symphony, etc. We like things simple.
