What types of organizations are discouraged from being formed within the Fraternity?

The answer highlighting Big Brother/Little Sister groups as discouraged within the Fraternity is correct because AOII, like many other Greek organizations, has specific guidelines aimed at promoting a sisterhood that fosters support and unity among its members. Big Brother/Little Sister programs typically involve cross-gender participation and can lead to complications in maintaining the intended focus and integrity of the sisterhood. The aim of AOII is to create a strong, cohesive environment exclusively for women, allowing for deeper connections and support networks that are vital to the organization’s mission and values.

In contrast, peer mentorship programs, sports clubs, and community service groups typically align well with the goals of Fraternity life by promoting personal development, teamwork, and giving back to the community, all of which are fundamental components of the sisterhood experience in AOII. These types of organizations can enhance the experience of membership without undermining the Fraternity’s objectives or creating divisions within the sisterhood.
