AOII for a Lifetime!
Please consider fulfilling your lifetime commitment to AOII
and become a dues paying member of the
New York City Area Alumnae Chapter.
AOII membership does not end with college graduation. Our members become Alumnae of AOII and can join any AOII Alumnae chapter in the city they reside. We have over 250 alumnae chapters across North America. A network of sisters and friends really helps when moving to a new city. Many of our alumnae are also active as volunteers for the Fraternity - advising and working with chapters on many different levels.
It's easy to pay your dues! We are currently collecting dues for the September 2011 - August 2012 fiscal year. You can pay safely using a credit card with the PayPal cart above, send a check to our Treasurer or send bring your check to any of our events. Please complete the 'Contact Us' page to obtain our address.
There are a few different membership types. Rose members go above an beyond and donate an extra ten dollars to the chapter in addition to regular dues. Regular members are the most common membership type for alumnae. Graduate members are sisters who are joining an alumnae chapter for the first time - we waive international fees for these sisters. Senior members are our AOIIs with all the wisdom :-) If you are Life Loyal, dues are reduced by $16 based on your membership type since International waives operating fees for Life Loyal alumnae.

Top Ten Reasons to Join an Alumnae Chapter
10. Do something for yourself - Alumnae chapter involvement may be just what you have been looking for - a group of friends where you can be yourself. You decide how active you want to be.
9. Be proud of AOII - For over 100 years Alpha Omicron Pi's innovative approaches to programming, training and computer support have led the way for other Greek organizations.
8. Get a real value when you join an alumnae chapter - Alumnae dues are set locally and are generally under $50 annually. Typically, alumnae chapters meet once a month.
7. Choose to be involved - There are many opportunities open to you as an active alumna. If it interests you, perhaps you would like to take a role in an alumnae chapter; serve the Fraternity in an international volunteer capacity; or assist a local collegiate chapter. The choice is yours.
6. Develop personally and professionally - Programs address a variety of topics - women's health and safety, local history and current issues, self-help, nutrition, educational programs and more! Participating in the activities of the alumnae chapter affords leadership options for personal satisfaction as well as occasions to develop professional, personal and managerial skills.
5. Make connections - Fellow members can share the benefit of their associations - whether they are career opportunities, names of doctors, child care resources, restaurants, school systems, or sports programs. No matter what you need to know, there is a sister to help you find the answer.
4. Forge new friendships - If you are new to an area, what's the best way to meet people? Attend an alumnae chapter gathering! The members of the chapter span diverse ages, locations, collegiate chapters, professions, and interests, yet all have the same bond in Alpha Omicron Pi. If there is no chapter in your area, consider forming a new chapter.
3. Rediscover old friendships - If it's been awhile since you've been active, you may even find a lost sister. Treasure a support system that's always there for you. We are that friend upon whom you should have no fear to call.
2. Let your light shine - As an active alumna, you may showcase your talents and skills as you wish. In addition to supporting Arthritis Research, our international philanthropy, many alumnae chapters champion local causes. Each chapter decides its own internal and external focus - be a part of this important decision.
1. Have fun! - Enjoy being together and creating new memories.
