Letter from the President

Hello and welcome to Alpha Omicron Pi's Gamma Chapter located at The University of Maine. My name is MacKenzie Bennett and I currently serve as Gamma's Chapter President.

Alpha Omicron Pi was founded at the University of Maine in 1908, making us the oldest Panhellenic organization on our campus. We are a group of diverse women who have a shared interest in bettering ourselves, our campus, and our community. We are involved in a multitude of organizations on campus (Student Government, Swim team, Honor Societies, and various clubs just to name a few). As AOII sisters, we take pride in being committed to character, dignity, scholarship, college loyalty and sisterhood.

"Sisterhood" may be a ambiguous term that is thrown around when referring to Panhellenic organizations. To our chapter, sisterhood is having a friend to call in the middle of the night. It means having an adventure partner, a supporter in the crowd, someone to get Mexican food with on a Tuesday night or bagels with on a Sunday morning. It is a feeling that you are never alone. The support sisters both offer and receive is one of the most amazing aspects of our chapter here in Maine, because no matter what you know that there will be sixty plus girls in your corner. The true meaning of sisterhood is embodied by our members, as they strive to be the best they can be not only for themselves, but also for their sisters.

Being apart of this organization has allowed me to take on leadership roles, participate in community service activities, raise money for charities, become involved on campus, and make lifelong friends which I never would have dreamed of when I first stepped foot onto this campus. AOII brought me a family when I was so far from home. Whether you are a potential new member trying to find your home away from home or a parent looking to find more information on membership, I encourage you to search our website and learn more about the amazing organization so many of us hold so closely to our hearts.

Roses,

Kenzie Bennett
