About Alpha Omicron Pi 

Alpha Omicron Pi Fraternity (AOII) has been a pillar in the Fraternity/Sorority Life community since its founding date of January 2, 1897, at Barnard College.  Since that date AOII has established chapters on over 200 college campuses across the United States and Canada and initiated more than 211,000 members.  AOII believes Inspiring Ambition begins when one can bring one’s full self to the organization, without regard to BIPOC, LGBTQ+, national origin, religion, disability, Veteran status, age, or any other class or characteristic protected by applicable law.  This is done through ensuring a diverse, equitable and inclusive environment which creates a culture of care allowing our staff, members, and volunteers to celebrate unique perspectives and experiences.   

As members of the AOII staff team we strive to Inspire Ambition by operating simultaneously with our Culture Principles through the guidance of the AOII Ends.

Why a House Director with AOII

As a House Director (HD) with AOII, you will be a vital member of the AOII Properties team.  You will be responsible for overseeing day-to-day operations of the facility, including personnel management (when applicable) and coordination of on-site vendors and service providers.  The primary focus of the HD is to manage and maintain a safe and secure facility following the procedures and policies set forth by AOII Properties while living in the house and maintaining an established schedule.  While it is expected that a HD cooperate in promoting the welfare of AOII’s collegiate chapter members, it is not the responsibility of the HD to act as a disciplinarian or be involved with the internal operations of the collegiate chapter.
