The Iota Chapter of Sigma Omicron Pi was established on July 9th, 2001. On that day, thirteen dedicated women of the Iota Chapter Charter Class founded the ninth chapter of Sigma Omicron Pi --the first active chapter to reach outside the borders of California and onto the east coast since 1997. These women realized the need for a strong, reputable network of Asian American women and began their pursuit for sisterhood. 

Since its establishment, Iota Chapter sisters have dedicated themselves to promoting Asian awareness and fulfilling their responsibility to the community by exemplifying our four objectives: Unity, Friendship, Leadership, and Service.
