Sea2Sky in a Nutshell

 

Sea to Sky is a decentralized Alumnae Chapter co-founded by American and Canadian sisters. The chapter was installed on June 10, 2023 in Vancouver, BC by Vice President Chantel Schieffer.

At Sea2Sky we are not defined by geographic location nor distance, but rather by the choice to connect with like-minded members of our beloved Alpha Omicron Pi.

Arthritis Society Canada

Make it Rain

Sea2Sky' 2023 virtual fundraiser for the Arthritis Society's Camp BC raised $433.50 in the month of November. The donation helps fund the operational costs of Camp BC, so many kids can benefit from this amazing program! You can read more about the fundraiser here.
