Since its establishment, our chapter has been committed to leadership, academic excellence, service, and sisterhood. Our members are actively involved on campus and work to make a positive impact both at Georgia Southern and throughout the Statesboro community.Our national philanthropy is the Arthritis Foundation, and we proudly support arthritis awareness and research through fundraising and service events throughout the year. We also support the Bulloch County Animal Shelter as a local philanthropy, helping raise awareness and give back to animals in need within our community. Giving back is an important part of our values and helps strengthen the bonds within our sisterhood.One fun fact about our chapter is that our members come from a variety of majors and are involved in many leadership positions across campus. From nursing and business to education and biology, our sisters bring unique talents and experiences to AOII. We enjoy participating in philanthropy events, sisterhood activities, game days, and campus traditions while creating friendships that last a lifetime.Our Submotto
