What is the Emporium?
The Emporium is AOII's official merchandise program, which offers over 400 AOII items to sisters throughout the United States and Canada. The Emporium was established in 1982 as a service to our collegians and alumnae. Members needed a place where they could order high quality, reasonably priced merchandise. We are owned and operated by AOII. The Emporium is unique in that all proceeds help to fund various AOII educational programs and offset administrative costs. Our goal at AOII Emporium is to offer quality merchandise, excellent customer service, convenience, and competitive pricing. Most Emporium orders are made through our catalog, which is distributed each year to our members. Shoppers can also visit our store in AOII International Headquarters.
Why buy from the Emporium?
• Every time you shop the Emporium, you're helping to support our sisterhood.
• All Emporium merchandise is designed to meet the needs of AOII members. Many items are "Emporium Exclusives," in that they are specially designed for the fraternity and are not available anywhere else.
• Chapters shopping the Emporium receive a discount! Collegiate and alumnae chapters receive a 10% discount for orders of $100 or more, and they receive a 20% discount for orders over $500!
• AOII members design some of our merchandise. We are always on the lookout for original ideas and designs, especially those from our own sisters!
What special services does the Emporium offer?
Wish List
The "Wish List" is the Emporium's own gift registry program. Sisters can submit a list to the Emporium of items they would love to have. These lists are then forwarded on to family and friends, as requested. This is a wonderful way to help people in their gift selection. Signing up is easy and takes minutes! Click the Wish List button on your screen to begin!
Bid Day and Special Events
The Emporium will take care of all your Bid Day and special event needs! We have a variety of t-shirt designs for Bid Day, recruitment, philanthropic, AOII sports, or any other event. Chapter discounts are available for quantity orders! No matter what your budget, we will help make any special event one to remember!
See the list at the bottom of this page of chapters of chapters who have participated and purchased Bid Day items in the past year.
Gift Packs
A Gift Pack is a wonderful way to surprise an AOII for initiation, birthday, Bid Day, special holiday, or just because! You may choose from three kinds of AOII Gift Packs. Each pack includes a number of AOII items any sister will love. Prices range from $10.00 to $20.00 or design your own gift pack. Call the Emporium for more information!
Road Trips
Every year the Emporium takes our merchandise "on the road!" We visit various chapters during their special events and/or chapter meetings. Members are able to shop the Emporium in their own chapter rooms! If you are interested in the Emporium visiting your chapter, please call us at (800) 746-7264. For information about upcoming Road Trips, click the Events button on your screen.
Consignment Boxes
Another way we bring the Emporium to you is through our Consignment Box Program. We will send a box of merchandise to your chapter to allow your sisters to shop 'til they drop! When they are finished shopping, simply send the box back to us. Call now to reserve your Consignment Box!
Are the Emporium's trademarks and exclusive items licensed?
In order to safeguard the appropriate use of our federally registered trademarks and to guarantee quality products, Alpha Omicron Pi is one of many Greek organizations that have entered into a trademark licensing
agreement with Affinity Marketing Consultants (AMC). We encourage members of AOII to buy from the Emporium and give back to our fraternity, but if that is not a possibility, please buy exclusively from an officially licensed AMC vendor.
