Although Alpha Omicron Pi social sorority left campus 23 years ago, members still gather for an annual reunion. From Friday through Sunday, 101 ONU sorority sisters enjoyed each other’s company with many staying at The Inn. A luncheon was held on Saturday and that evening many dined together at Viva Maria’s.
This was the local sorority’s fifth annual reunion at ONU, according to Anita Cook, one of the organizers. Anita, formerly on the Freed Center staff, now lives in Columbus. She said the women who returned to campus last weekend came from across the United States.
While here, the women also donated several thousand dollars to two charities.
