Alpha Omicron Pi (AOII) International Membership (IME) Practice Test

One of the founding members of Alpha Omicron Pi is Jessie Wallace Hughan. She played a pivotal role in establishing the sorority in 1897 at Barnard College in New York City. Hughan's vision was to create an organization that emphasized sisterhood, scholarship, and service among women, which continues to be the foundational values of AOII today. Her dedication to the principles of the sorority and her leadership helped lay the groundwork for the expansion and influence AOII has had throughout the years.

While the other individuals listed also contributed significantly to the sorority's early development—Estelle Shepard Beswick and Helen St. Clair Mullan were both founding members, with Mullan serving as the first president—Jessie Wallace Hughan is frequently recognized as a primary figure in the founding narrative of AOII. Mary E. P. St. Clair is sometimes mentioned with the founding group, but she is not typically highlighted as a founding member in the same way Hughan, Beswick, and Mullan are.
