Whatever is meaningful.

Whatever is beautiful.

Whatever brings you happiness.


May all of these be yours this holiday season and throughout the coming year.

Alumnae Chapter to create an AOII CARE TEAM

James Taylor said it best in the beautiful Carole King song "You've got a friend."

In this case, "You've got a sister."

Several of our alums go through different circumstances in their lives when an AOII sister is just what the doctor ordered. The alumnae chapter is currently in the process of forming an AOII CARE TEAM. Sisters that choose to serve on this team would "let their light shine" in several capacities---visiting a sister in the hospital, writing a letter of encouragement, delivering a meal or simply picking up the phone to say "hello."

If you would like to be a part of this special team, email knoxalumaoii@gmail.com.
