On this special day, we’re rallying team AOII to make a game-changing impact. Picture this: the crowd's energy is electric, the excitement is building, and we’re calling on YOU to take the shot and be a part of something extraordinary.
It's Pi Day!
ABOUT PI DAY
Pi Day is Alpha Omicron Pi's special day of giving, inspired by the mathematical constant π (pi), which equals 3.14. Each year on March 14, AOII sisters come together to celebrate the power of giving and support the AOII Foundation.
Join in on the fun by making a special Pi Day donation! We encourage members to give 3.14 times the number of years they have been an initiated member—an equation that turns your years of AOII membership into a meaningful gift.
Every Pi Day gift benefits the Loyalty Fund, the AOII Foundation's unrestricted fund. Your donation provides the flexibility to support the area where it's needed most—from funding scholarships and leadership programs, to strengthening the Ruby Fund, to administering the Foundation's programs and other vital initiatives.
OUR PROGRESS
As our dedicated donors rally behind Team AOII this Pi Day, keep visiting our page to track the Foundation's journey toward our $175,000 goal.
Across the U.S. and Canada, Team AOII’s starting lineup is well represented on the map! Explore our interactive heatmap to track where our members are making an impact.
Get ahead of the game with the Warm Up Match! Heading out of town? Juggling childcare duties or simply eager to jump into the action right away? Your contribution will be matched dollar for dollar (including all challenge pages), up to $25,000. Thank you for being an early supporter of Team AOII.
Beginning at 5 p.m. CT on March 14, all donations will be matched dollar for dollar (including all challenge pages), up to $22,000. Help us beat the buzzer and reach our goal!
Each time a sister who was initiated between 2020–2025 donates, she will unlock a match gift—meaning her gift will be doubled!
When Alumnae Chapter members give on this match page, their gifts will be matched dollar for dollar up to $5,000, meaning your impact is doubled! Alumnae Chapters are also invited to get in on the game through this match by making a donation using Pi Day Math—3.14 x the total number of sisters in your alumnae chapter.
Give to the Alumnae Chapter Match
This Pi Day, we have three match categories where your donation will be doubled! Match dollars have been generously contributed by the women named below. This team of 72 donors made a game-changing commitment, collectively contributing $100,000 to establish these matches—their generosity is a slam dunk in our hearts!

Chapter of initiation challenges bring an exciting buzzer-beater element to rallying your chapter sisters in support of the Foundation. Participating chapters each have their own page that will be featured on the main donation page, allowing you to monitor your chapter's progress in real-time—watching as donations pour in and excitement builds.
Each chapter will be linked to their network. After Pi Day, the top-ranking group earns bragging rights, but the true victory lies in the support garnered for the Foundation and the funds raised!
Coach Gayle Fitzpatrick, Alpha Rho (Oregon State U) and Coach Susan Danko, Phi Upsilon (Purdue U) are returning for a second year to lead Team AOII to victory!
