Date conventions
A single date shown means this is the year that chapter was founded. Where two dates are shown, hyphenated, for example "1983-1993", this indicates the active dates of a chapter that has been subsequently closed. Where three dates are shown, for example "1934-1969/ 1989", this means the chapter was active between 1934 and 1969, closed, but was then re-chartered in 1989, with a continuing active presence today. In the case of four dates, "1959-1981 / 1989-1996", the chapter began in 1959, closed in 1981, reopened in 1989 and closed again in 1996.
Except where otherwise noted, chapter names, schools and dates are from the international sorority's website.

References
- Technically an international women's fraternity, the terms are used interchangeably in conversation. Alpha Omicron Pi was established prior to the coining of the term "sorority."
- ΑΟΠ Facebook page, accessed 16 Nov 2016.
- Sororities, labeled as "undemocratic" because of their selectivity on the campus, were banned from Stanford in 1944, according to news reports. School regents voted to rescind this policy in 1977, after passage of Title XI. As of 2016 there were 14 active sororities back on the campus, of which seven are NPC organizations.
- Beta Sigma of ΑΟΠ's Instagram page, accessed 16 Nov 2016, showing the chapter as reinstalled 30 April 2016.
- Chartered at Parks College in Cahokia, IL, a school which was absorbed by St. Louis University and the chapter moved briefly to St. Louis, MO in 1996. It did not survive the disruption.
- This early chapter had come from a merger, where ΑΟΠ added the three chapters of Delta Sigma (sorority) in 1908
- USA Today's News-Leader reports new sorority to join MSU campus in the fall of 2016, according to an article accessed 16 Nov 2016.
- Columbia has seen a marked resurgence in Greek participation, now nearly 16% of the undergraduate population, according to this 2016 article, accessed 18 Nov 2016.
- ΑΟΠ has held this group's charter "in trust" since December 2014. This means it is a suspended or closed chapter. However, apparently, a group continued to operate under the same name, which may have been/be a violation of trademark. CBS reports the arrest of seven members of this (former, now clandestine?) chapter, after noise complaints led to allegations of hazing in a report dated 11 Nov 2016. The University noted that the sorority was off campus, and was not recognized by the school.
- The Facebook listing further notes that the date of reinstallation was 6 Nov, 2016.
- Lambuth University closed in June 2011; The University of Memphis opened its Lambuth campus in August 2011.
