interested in attending the training to
apply for scholarships to help fund their
attendance at the important event.

Funding the Sisters Developing Leaders
Together program is a collaborative task
carried by the senior collegiate members
o f Alpha O m i c r o n Pi. Each senior is
challenged to contribute $15 to this
program, essentially funding the ability
o f their sisters to attend the valuable
leadership training. Originating i n 1992,
this program has generated over $50,000
i n f u n d i n g since its inception. A m o n g the
A O I I chapters participating, sisters raised
almost $9,100 last year alone.

As the case w i t h any program, the Sisters
Developing Leaders Together program
is only as successful as the participation it
requires. One shining light in the success
o f this program is the Alpha C h i Chapter

numbers have dwindled to nine,
including four original members
who are approaching or have
passed their 90th birthday. The
Twenty Club is a true testament
to the lifelong bond of AOII.

After graduating from Birmingham
Southern the women married and had
children, but despite their new lives they
began to miss the close ties they had
shared i n college. In 1951, they decided
it had been too long since they had had
a reunion and gathered to catch up on
where they had left off after graduation.
The reunion resulted in a monthly
tradition that is still going strong. The
group recently gathered on May 3 0 ,
2 0 0 8 for a luncheon hosted by Harris's
daughter Alison Harris Wedgworth,
Delta Delta (Auburn U).

W h i l e many o f us would like to
maintain the bonds we develop in A O I I ,
these women have turned that desire
into reality. They enjoy each other's
company and make every effort to be
together. Mary A n n Barnett believes
the basis for the success o f the group
is "faith, hope, and love, as well as
tolerance," she laughs. According to Sara
Dominic Clark, Tau 1 )elta (Birmingham
Southern College) their success also
comes f r o m their bond o f friendship
and not having an agenda other than
appreciating each other's company.

Louise West, Tau Delta, cherishes the
Twenty Club friendships she has made
over all the years. She had seven sons,

times to get to meetings, but somehow,
she managed to stay an active member o f

The group has always tried to reach out
to sisters everywhere. I n fact, as original

adding AOIIs f r o m other chapters such as
