Additionally, three graduate students at Cumberland and the mother of an AOII member will be initiated and join AOII alumnae in the area to advise the colony. They have united to establish a chapter that will exemplify the tradition of academic excellence, philanthropy, community service and life long friendships found in the 174 collegiate chapters of AOII across the United States and Canada. The colony members at Cumberland University are among the top students and leaders on the campus. Their commitment to academics is evident in their average GPA of 3.27. In addition, members are involved in all areas of campus life including student government, honorary societies, varsity athletics, and religious organizations.
Many members are also very active in philanthropic organizations and community outreach.
AOII is excited to become a part of the Greek system at Cumberland University. The chapter is expected to have tremendous success over the next few years as the Greek tradition grows at the university.
