Welcome to official blog of Alpha Omicron Pi, Sigma Chapter!


Welcome to the official blog of Alpha Omicron Pi, Sigma Chapter at the University of California, Berkeley! I am so incredibly proud to represent our chapter of 136 women as Chapter President. Since being elected to this position in December 2011, I have had many amazing opportunities to share my experiences as a member of AOII Fraternity, Sigma Chapter, and the Cal Greeks community.

In February, I hopped on a plane to AOII HQ in Brentwood, Tennessee along with our chapter’s Vice President of Communications, Paige Xu, for the most anticipated AOII International event of the year – Leadership Academy! This year’s theme was “Tell Me About It!” and focused on how we can share our AOII experiences through modern means of communication such as websites, blogs, Facebook, and Twitter. Paige and I had a fantastic time meeting sisters from all over the United States and Canada, shopping at the AOII Emporium, and learning from guest speakers like Dr. Mark Taylor. We were so excited to also have the opportunity to meet Allison Allgier, our AOII International President. It was a wonderful weekend that gave us tools, resources, and feedback to share with our chapter and Leaders’ Council. For example, it inspired Paige to create this blog you’re reading now and update our chapter’s website – check it out!

I hope that we can use this blog to share our chapter’s experiences with our AOII sisters and our campus community. Look out for more posts from Paige and our communications team with pictures, news, and recent events.

Thanks for stopping by!

Alpha Love,

Kimberly Barton
Chapter President
