Alumnae Opportunities
As a membership-based organization, AOII relies heavily on volunteer involvement from our alumnae members to function on a local and international level. Regardless of your interest, experience, or location, there are many options as to how you can volunteer your time and talents to Alpha Omicron Pi.
FOUR Program
Alpha Omicron Pi’s FOUR program offers four different ways for you to stay connected. This program was developed for alumnae to give back to AOII in different ways that best suits their lifestyle. This can be done through your time, talents, treasures, and much more. Each alumna member gets to decide what her alumnae experience in AOII looks like.
AOII Alumnae Dues
By paying alumnae dues, Alpha Omicron Pi alumnae have an opportunity to stay connected to AOII wherever life takes you. To continue to provide an unparalleled membership experience for both collegiate and alumnae members, AOII is launching a Fraternity-wide model for consistent advancement by collecting alumnae dues. After researching and collaborating with NPC groups who have experienced tremendous success through this alumnae engagement initiative, AOII will begin collecting a $35 annual fee from all alumnae members starting August 2018 (Life Loyal members will pay $19 annually).
Volunteer Locally
The health and vitality of our collegiate chapters depends on the involvement of local volunteers. Alumnae assistance is always welcomed for recruitment activities, involvement with chapter operations and events, and as mentors on the chapter’s Alumnae Advisory Committee (AAC).
To get involved with your local collegiate chapter on an AAC, visit our chapter locator. To become an adviser at the local level, you do not need to fill out a volunteer application – contact the Chapter Adviser listed for your chapter of interest to learn about the chapter’s AAC or volunteer needs.
Volunteer Internationally
The Human Resources Committee (HRC) is charged with the responsibility of cultivating and recruiting a broad, diversified base of volunteers from the membership of Alpha Omicron Pi. The committee solicits and accepts applications from potential volunteers and then researches those applications to identify candidates for appointed offices. The Committee also identifies volunteers with the special talents or expertise needed to assist the Fraternity with specific projects.
To be considered for international/appointed volunteer positions recruited by HRC, please complete the AOII Volunteer Interest Form.
Join an Alumnae Chapter
AOII has over 150 alumnae chapters across the United States and Canada and are a great way to stay involved as an alumna. Being a part of an alumnae chapter gives you a chance to stay plugged in and enjoy company of AOII sisters from all over.
For more information about how to get involved through our FOUR program, please contact our Engagement Department.

Training Ambassador Program
Overview of the Training Ambassador Program
The role of a Training Ambassador enhances the service and support provided to these two critical groups: Alumnae Advisory Committees and the collegiate chapters in which our AACs support. The program educates and prepares a select group of volunteers and deploys them to provide trainings to local Alumnae Advisory Committees. Therefore, the purpose of the Training Ambassador Program is to offer education that develops personal leadership skills, improves communication, and enhances interpersonal relationships. In providing this opportunity to the volunteer trainers, it equips them with the tools to guide other leaders who influence the larger membership and in turn the campus communities where AOII has chapters installed.
Alumnae Advisory Committee members and collegiate chapter officers play a crucial role in the success of AOII chapters and the development of individual members. Being able to offer this training ensures consistency and accuracy of content in an interactive format. The training also offers the opportunity for participants to improve leadership skills and communication techniques in meaningful and applicable ways. Most importantly, proper training creates energized and engaged leaders who serve as vibrant models of strong values and continued dedication. Through their enthusiasm and commitment to the Fraternity, they can inspire and influence future leaders’ involvement.
