badge Badge

The badge of Alpha Omicron Pi is composed of the three initial letters of the three words of the Motto, superimposed one upon the next in order, which gives the Fraternity its name.


red

Color

Alpha Omicron Pi has only one color, cardinal. It is the color of the Fraternity flower, the ruby, and the ribbon sometimes worn under the badge to welcome a new collegiate chapter. AOII has only one jewel, the ruby. The occasional use of pearls or diamonds in special badges has no significance or special meaning.

to-dragma

Magazine

The magazine, TO DRAGMA is translated as “the sheaf”.

rose

Flower

The nineteenth-century French rose General Jacqueminot was chosen as the flower of Alpha Omicron Pi because its deep red color is the symbol of the central and essential virtue of the Fraternity.

wheat

Wheat

The wheat indicates usefulness in its harvest. The binding together of the wheat into a sheaf gave Alpha Omicron Pi the new member pin, the name for the magazine, and the rings for the president and international president.

panda

Mascot

While not an official symbol, the Fraternity and our chapters consider the Panda to be our mascot.
