AOII's philanthropy is Arthritis Research. Each year the Chi Psi Chapter of AOII raises over $4000 dollars for Arthritis research! Our second philanthropy is Breast Cancer. Through our fundraising efforts and involvement in the local community, AOII dedicates their time and money to these great causes.
Every year, our chapter puts on the Mr. Fraternity contest. The proceeds go to the Alpha Omicron Pi Foundation which supports Arthritis Research Grants, educations grants, and scholarships. The event is held yearly at ‘The Graduate’ with over 700 members of the Cal Poly Greek Community present. All IFC Fraternities are represented by outstanding members who compete in three categories: talent, sportswear, and formal wear. With some help from their AOII coaches, these members compete for the prestigious Mr. Fraternity crown and title for that year. The following are past winners:
2009 Alpha Gamma Rho
2008 Phi Sig
2007 Delta Sigma Phi
2006 Alpha Gamma Rho
