About Alpha Pi Omega, Iota Chapter

The Iota Chapter of Alpha Pi Omega at Arizona State University in Tempe represents a vital community of Native American women committed to preserving Indigenous traditions while advancing academic and professional success. As part of the country's first historically American Indian sorority, established by the Four Winds in 1994, the Iota Chapter carries forward a legacy of sisterhood grounded in tribal heritage and cultural celebration. Members represent diverse tribal nations, creating a united circle of Indigenous women who support one another through the college experience and beyond.

Founded on the principle "My Sister As Myself," Alpha Pi Omega's Iota Chapter in Tempe, Arizona embodies a deep commitment to mutual support and collective empowerment. The sorority's mission centers on creating a strong sisterhood that serves as a foundation for personal growth, balanced living, and community service. Each member strives for continuous self-renewal through education while honoring the spiritual and cultural traditions of Native peoples. The organization actively addresses critical issues affecting Native communities, ensuring that sisters remain engaged with their tribes and broader Indigenous causes.

The Iota Chapter cultivates meaningful relationships among Native college women at ASU, fostering an environment where members can celebrate their heritage, develop leadership skills, and contribute to their communities. Sisters benefit from connections with a national network spanning over 900 women across multiple universities and geographic regions. Through shared ceremonies, cultural practices, and community initiatives, the chapter strengthens bonds of sisterhood while honoring the vision of its founders and the countless women who have carried this important work forward since 1994.
