Alpha Rho Omega is a sisterhood comprised of a very diverse group of women.  We work together and are able to accomplish our goals by our shared ideals: loyalty, respect, individuality, trust, and unity. Alpha Rho believes in accepting people as they are, free of judgment.  Every sister is a unique individual that contributes to the sisterhood in her own way.

Alpha Rho was founded on April 1, 1981 by some former little sisters of the no longer recognized fraternity of Alpha Sigma Phi. With just twelve founding members Alpha Rho has grown to have a  membership role of over
316 sisters over the past twenty five years.  The sisterhood was founded on the principles of unity, loyalty, individuality, and respect because without these there can be no lasting bond.  We strive to maintain these values while enhancing scholarship within the sisterhood as well as service throughout the community. 

Currently we have a membership roll of seventeen active sisters.  We are currently located on the first floor of Wesley.  Stop by and visit and see the wonderful job the sisters have done with repainting the floor!  Check out the "What's New" page for information about upcoming sisterhood events!

Alpha Rho is actively involved in many service endeavors.  Along with our traditional Adopt-A-Highway, some of the things we have participated in are: donating items to the Brandy Lee Sudol Auction, participating in Relay for Life the "Take Back the Night" march, the "Clothes Line" project, volunteering at the Salvation Army, making Christmas cards for children at the Danville Hospital Children's Department, collecting money for the Red Cross, volunteering at the YWCA, pen-pals with Ashley Manor, and helping with the AIDS Resource Center in Williamsport. We are also involved with the campus and community risk management, distributing pamphlets on addiction awareness and AIDS.  We also are involved in the "Quarter Mile of Quarters" project to raise funds for the Joe Young Memorial Scholarship. So save up your quarters!! Every little bit helps!

We strive to maintain high academic standards.  With help from our scholarship chairwoman, we provide tutoring and educational programs to sisters that need it.  We have many sisters that are in  honor societies on campus including: Gamma Sigma Alpha (Greek), Psi Chi (Psychology), Beta Beta Beta (Biology), Alpha Phi Sigma (Criminal Justice), and Alpha Epsilon Rho (Communications).
