Happy Founders' Day Sisters!

"December 8, or a date as near to it as is practical, is Founders' Day. Although Alpha Omicron Pi was founded on January 2, 1897, this date usually falls during school holidays. December 8 was chosen because it was Stella George Stern Perry's birthday."--AOII Web Page

We don't celebrate on Dec. 8th because we're on the quarter system and that falls during finals week.

We usually celebrate during the first few weeks of January, but this year it isn't until the first week of Febuary!

I'll have to give up my rights as Stella and pass them on to the next lucky women to be selected as her.

I realize we celebrate for Stella's b-day, but we don't actually do the celebration out here until February when school is back in since the 8th is always right around finals .

So a month from now when I am in Ireland, I will be thinking AOII thoughts on Jan 2nd.

Hey Everyone,
I just got the word, from my ladies of Nu Beta, that WE are going to have our Founders' Day Celebration in January with Rhodes College AOIIs down here at Ole Miss in Oxford, MS. FUN TIMES! I cannot wait to meet more sisters from Kappa Omicron (Rhodes AOIIs).

We will have our formal Founders' Day in January. It will be January 24 at Commander's Palace. This is when we hand out awards and 25-year and 50-year member pins. Usually, we have a large turn out. It just so happened that this year our regular AC meeting fell on Stella's birthday so we decided to celebrate.

We celebrate Founders' Day in January with the Chi Delta chapter and the Denver Alums. The 8th of December usually falls around finals and graduation, so that's why we don't do it then.
