The Strength of Collaboration

Becky Ziga, Chi Lambda (U of Evansville), Rituals, Traditions, and Jewelry Committee

In Greek life, unity isn’t limited to one chapter or organization — it thrives when we connect across letters. When women from different sororities collaborate toward a shared goal, the outcome is powerful. Together, our collective light shines brighter.

As members of Alpha Omicron Pi, we value collaboration as both a practical strength and a reflection of our Ritual. Our promise to promote the welfare of others and uphold high personal standards reaches beyond AOII and into the broader community.

Sisterhood Beyond Our Fraternity

Our Ritual instills the values of sisterhood, loyalty, scholarship, and service — not just within our walls, but throughout our actions in the world. When we work with women from other organizations, we’re not only honoring our own principles but embracing theirs as well. These partnerships are rooted in shared values and a commitment to support one another.

As Chapter Advisor for Kappa Kappa at Ball State University, I experienced the power of this collaboration firsthand. Working with women across multiple sororities, we found common ground through sisterhood, community involvement, and shared causes like breast cancer awareness. Our friendships deepened as we participated in events, supported each other’s families, and built something meaningful beyond our individual roles.

That experience wasn’t just about fulfilling duties as advisers — it was about making a lasting impact. By coming together, we grew as leaders, solved problems with empathy, and inspired each other to serve with passion and purpose.

The Strength of Shared Values

Every collaborative effort — from planning philanthropy events to supporting campus-wide initiatives — begins with a belief that together, we can do more. AOII calls us to “inspire ambition,” and working with women from other organizations magnifies that ambition into action.

The lessons I learned as an advisor continue to influence me. In my professional life, I now intentionally seek out opportunities to collaborate with other Greek women. I’ve seen how our shared values naturally foster trust, accountability, and excellence. Our bonds don’t end with college; they grow as we bring the spirit of sisterhood into every space we enter.

Collaboration among sorority women isn’t just about getting things done — it’s about building relationships that uplift, motivate, and expand our impact. It’s about showing the world what’s possible when women support one another across affiliations.

Together, we lead with heart. Together, we let our light shine.
