A Message from our Membership Educator

Welcome Potential New Members! As Membership Educator, my role is to help guide you through the new member process, making sure you feel supported, connected, and prepared to thrive both academically and personally. Joining our sorority means more than just finding friends, it’s about building a network of sisters who will cheer you on, challenge you to grow, and be by your side through successes and failures.

As a new member you will be introduced to the values and opportunities that make our sisterhood special. You’ll form meaningful relationships, as well as gain professional resources that will make an impact in your future and our chapter. I’m so excited to be by your side along your experience of becoming a sister of Alpha Omega Epsilon!

– Mya Gomez, π Class

Hear from our sisters

“I wanted to get out of my comfort zone and meet new friends, especially with women who value their academics while also having fun. I also love all the ways I can grow as a person within the sorority. A.O.E. has helped me create lasting friendships not just in college but also throughout my life.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have to be an Engineering major to join?

No! We welcome all majors.

Is there and AΩE. House? Is AΩE on the Panhellenic Council?

AΩE does not have a house. Even though we are a Registered Student Organization (RSO) at Florida Atlantic, we are not on a Panhellenic council and do not participate in Greek Week or any other Greek affiliated events.

What events do you hold?

Check out our events page! We do events that help with sisterhood bonding. We also enjoy collaborating with other engineering related clubs

How will I know this is the right fit for me?

We recommend you go to our recruitment events at the beginning of every semester and get to know the members (See Recruitment for a list of events). There is no obligation to join by attending these events. If you’re still not sure after this point, try it anyway. Your first semester will give you the opportunity to get to know the actives better and you will also be given multiple active mentors to help guide you through your semester and lend advice to help you out along the way. If you end up deciding that AΩE is not right for you, you are free to drop whenever you want.

When can I wear letters?

When you are initiated as an Active member after the candidacy process.

Can I join another sorority while being in A.O.E.?

No. Honor societies such as Tau Beta Pi and Tri Alpha are allowed, but Candidates, Actives, and Alumni of Alpha Omega Epsilon are prohibited from being members of any organization that is associated with the following councils/associations:
