Chapter Overview
During its existence, Pi Iota Omega has become one of the most outstanding chapters in the Notable North Atlantic Region. Since its chartering, Pi Iota Omega has been of service to all mankind by awarding thousands of dollars in scholarships to deserving college freshmen and carrying out many noteworthy programs and projects in the community.
Pi Iota Omega is comprised of a diverse group of women who pool talents and resources to uplift our community and to provide service programs to enrich and improve the White Plains/Greenburgh Communities. We are doctors, lawyers, educators, social workers, business women, graduate students, and retirees. We are also mothers, wives, women of faith, and community servants.
Our dedication, commitment, and service to our community not only continues to flourish, but we remain committed to leading the way and staying the course towards a better tomorrow, today. Furthermore, we continue to promote and uplift sisterhood and friendship in the grand style of our founders and the generations of Alpha Kappa Alpha women who have come before us.
