Sigma 1916

The UC Berkeley Sigma chapter of sorority Alpha Omicron Pi was stripped of its charter last week — a decision it will appeal to the international organization.

Women’s fraternity Alpha Omicron Pi announced last Monday that it would no longer recognize UC Berkeley’s chapter house as of Sept. 3.

The property at 2311 Prospect Street, which houses UC Berkeley’s Alpha Omicron Pi sorority house, has been the center of a dispute between the sorority’s international corporation and the local corporation that owns the property.
