AOII Goes Blue Week

Thanks to Alpha Omicron Pi's new philanthropy chair, Jordan Rose, the first annual AOII Goes Blue Week got off to a record-breaking start!

Each year, AOII hosts a softball tournament called Strike Out Arthritis. This year, AOII had twice as many teams sign up as last year and was able to raise $3,000 for Juvenile Arthritis Research! The energy was great, and the teams really enjoyed themselves. Congratulations to the gentlemen of Pi Kappa Alpha for taking home the big win!

Monday night, AOII’s attended a Northwest Arkansas Naturals game to show support for their philanthropy. Members loved this event, since it was not only a great sisterhood event but a unique way to raise awareness for Juvenile Arthritis, as well.

On Thursday, AOII hosted local boutiques for their first annual fashion show fundraiser, called  “Strike-A-Pose.” The show featured a member of each sorority modeling an outfit from a local boutique. Afterwards, the boutiques set up a booth with jewelry, shoes, and clothes for purchase. 20 percent of the proceeds from the booths went to AOII's philanthropy. After this event, AOII Goes Blue Week raised a total of $7,000 that went towards finding a cure for Juvenile Arthritis.


AOII is so proud of Jordan Rose and all of the time and effort she has put in to organizing these new events for her sisters and their philanthropy! It’s truly amazing to see such a great group of girls dedicate this week to something that is so dear to their hearts.
