Philanthropy
Official Philanthropy - Arthritis Research
This cause was chosen because it is the leading cause of disability for women. It can affect women of all ages. Since adopting Arthritis Research as its international philanthropy in 1967, nationally, Alpha Omicron Pi has raised over $2 million for grants and research. Collegians are encouraged to participate in annual fund-raisers usually to raise funds for Arthritis research. In 2011, AOÎ established a partnership with The Arthritis Foundation to further their philanthropic goals.
Though Arthritis Research is the international philanthropy, chapters often support other local or national causes. The Zeta Psi chapter's local philanthropy is the Pitt Country Animal Shleter.
Go Blue Week
The last week in October, AOÎ turned ECU's campus blue for Athritis Awarness. We had a table set up in a very popular area on campus where we passed out flyers about arthritis, sold tickets to our Fall Fest event, had a board for people to write names of those affected by arthritis, and giveaways for small donations for Arthritis Research.

We teamed up with Pi Kappa Alpha to work with our local philanthropy, the Pitt Country Animal Shelter. We hosted a pet-a-puppy event on campus where people could donate to pet and play with some of the dogs available for adoption at the animal shelter.
