Things We Love

LOVETaHbINuGS WE

THE INFINITY ROSE

Since AOII’s brand launch in 2017, the Infinity Rose
has quickly become iconic to our organization. This
logo represents the simplicity and timelessness of
the Fraternity’s founding values. We love the Infinity
Rose because of its nod to our founders, with the
petals symbolizing Stella, Helen, Jessie, and Bess,
who chose to live, learn, lead, and serve with ambition
and emphasizing the significance of character, dignity,
scholarship, and college loyalty. The infinity
symbol is subtly intertwined, recognizing
the lifelong bond of friendship and
membership in Alpha Omicron Pi. AOII is a
bond that lasts forever, and the Infinity Rose
is a beautiful reflection of that commitment!

FULFILLING THE PROMISE SISTERHOOD FOR A LIFETIME

Alpha Omicron Pi values our members’ Our favorite thing about AOII is the sense of
experiences and is proud to o er a belonging our members feel not just during
wide variety of resources and trainings college, but for a lifetime. As you read in our
on Fulfilling the Promise! From Sisterhood Reunions Celebrate Connections
o cer training modules to personal article, AOII members pride themselves on
development, we love Fulfilling the their lifelong commitment to our Fraternity,
Promise because it gives our members and the lifelong friendships that follow. Like
the opportunity to build their leadership our symbolic Infinity Rose, we love that our
and professional skills. AOII sisterhood last a lifetime.

THE EMPORIUM Things We Love

Who doesn’t love AOII merch? We love The AOII Emporium for many
reasons, like their price-matching policy for custom orders, the beautiful
array of designs ready to be ordered from the boutique – like the
125th Anniversary Collection – and the discount codes o ered to new
members and every member on their birthday! We also love the pop-up
shops at in-person AOII international events!

THE BRAND

After the Fraternity underwent a rebrand in
2017, AOII members quickly learned there
was more to our new brand identity than just
the beautiful new Infinity Rose. Adding in a

new color palette, patterns and
fonts further help to tell the
story of Alpha Omicron Pi and
shapes the perception of who
an Alpha Omicron Pi member
is and how the Fraternity is
identified. Our brand takes the
simplicity of our Fraternity and
its values and mixes it with the
boldness and confidence of our
ambitious members!
