Events

The AOII Boston Alumnae Chapter's calendar runs August to June and we typically have about two events per month.

A sample of events we held last year includes: happy hours, brunch and movie outings, holiday cookie swap, ice skating, volunteering at Cradles to Crayons, an outlet mall shopping trip, an ice cream social with Delta Chapter seniors, and, of course, our annual Founders' Day celebration.

While many events take place in Boston proper, we aim to hold several events in locations outside of the city to connect with sisters coming from a distance.
