About the chapter

Symbols include the Jaqueminot Rose, the Ruby, and the Sheaf of Wheat, which represents individuals bound together by friendship. We proudly support The Arthritis Foundation and are known as "Panda People" among arthritis circles for donating hundreds of stuffed pandas to children at arthritis camps and conventions every year.

“Joining AOII was the best decision I have ever made. I have become the best version of myself. The members saw potential in me that I had yet to see in myself. Truly the most amazing and ambitious people on campus!”

Natalia Matamoros, 2026 Director of New Member Experience
