Alpha Pi Omega, the first historically American Indian sorority in the nation, provides American Indian women on the collegiate level with confidence in their capability. Founded at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on Sept. 1, 1994, the sorority has spread to other universities around the country and currently has over 250 members.
In 2001, the sorority began initiating women at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Twenty-two-year-old Sasanehsaeh â??Suziâ? Pyawasay, who was initiated in the spring of 2005, is one of five members of Alpha Pi Omega Sorority at the UW-Madison.
