Starting a New Chapter

The Sisters of Alpha Omega Epsilon are proud of the principles the Organization stands for and always welcome young women who can share in the Sorority's dreams and reap the benefits that Alpha Omega Epsilon has to offer. Establishing a new Alpha Omega Epsilon chapter is one of the most exciting events for members. Alpha Omega Epsilon is dedicated to supporting new chapters through the development phases. The IEB Director of Expansion and others work along side new chapter members to ensure the chapter has a strong and meaningful experience.

After successfully completing the steps of a colony as defined in "Colonization and Installation" the following steps should be completed to start a chapter:

  • The colony may petition to become a chapter by contacting the IEB Director of Expansion for the application.
  • The application to become a chapter must be submitted within 18 months of colony installation. If this cannot be done, an extension request must be submitted.
  • Once the IEB has approved the chapter application and bylaws , installation will be scheduled and a new chapter will be born.

Alpha Omega Epsilon currently has 22 chapters and 2 colonies. The Sorority continues to grow with the help of ambitious bring young women!
